The Debtfix Crew often hears about the financial fallout for these vulnerable people and now, they are doing their bit, and calling on the community to support I Got Your Back Pack.
The charity collects essential items that are given to people to help them through the crisis, with a focus on giving a bit of normality and kindness during a moment of upheaval.
Back packs full of things such as, toiletries, healthy snacks, and toys or activity books for children are distributed nationwide to organisations supporting survivors of domestic violence.
Debtfix wants people to donate new items and drop them off at their Warkworth office.
“During August we are having a big push, asking our community to bring in new things like toothpaste, shampoo, children’s books, nappies, deodorant for men or women,” says Christine Liggins, co-founder of Debtfix.
“We will get everything to I Got Your Back Pack and they will make the day for those people who need some kindness and respect.”
People can find more ideas about items required at the charity’s website, but most importantly – items must be new and where appropriate, sealed.
Donations can be delivered during office hours to Debtfix, Unit F/11 Neville Street, Warkworth.
Seven stoats have been captured during an outbreak at Shakespear Regional Park, however it is estimated there could be around four more.

A stoat was first spotted in the 500-hectare pest-free sanctuary at the end of 2020. It later gave birth, meaning there may be up to 11 stoats wreaking havoc among the park's wildlife.
Two female stoats have been trapped this month, and last week the cameras spotted a stoat checking out a stoat “play gym” – a pile of debris placed on a log bridge and with traps inside – where one of its “presumed siblings” was trapped on July 2.
“We treat this positively as it is knowledge to inform next steps and a head start on where to target this next animal,” senior ranger at the sanctuary Matt Maitland said.
“There is genuine excitement that we are making progress, tempered with healthy realism of the task still ahead of us.”

There are many reasons why elder abuse occurs. It often stems from attitudes that are ageist, and disrespectful of older people.
The majority of cases that Age Concerns work with involves older people living in their own homes. In most instances it is family members like adult children who perpetrate elder abuse or neglect.

A retired customer has a hardly used smooth top oven for sale due to a recent kitchen modification. This has hardly been used (as you will see when you view it) and represents a GOOD buy!
It cost over $1,000 new (current prices range from $1,100 - $1,300 approx, depending where you buy it online) … View moreA retired customer has a hardly used smooth top oven for sale due to a recent kitchen modification. This has hardly been used (as you will see when you view it) and represents a GOOD buy!
It cost over $1,000 new (current prices range from $1,100 - $1,300 approx, depending where you buy it online) I saw one site where it was between $1100 and $1200.
Currently it is taking up space in their garage and they want it gone, so to sweeten the pie we are chucking in the range hood (also hardly used) including 2 extra new filters, for FREE if it sells this week.
Asking price is only $650 which is a steal! Wait until you see it, when I first saw it I thought it was brand new!
See pics and call or txt me if you have any questions on 027 973 2169
Suitable for your home, bach, sleepout, granny flat or rental!
