Bring them with you to the meeting. Maybe someone else will love them and adopt them, you never know. Maybe the fabric of your dreams will be at the meeting also. Lets try and match fabrics to crafters.

This month we’re rolling up our sleeves, putting up our hands, and saying ‘YES’ to giving our time and skills to projects that make Aotearoa a better place to live.

As a mostly volunteer led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!

Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (16-22 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

Want to share your thoughts?

Let us know how you’re getting involved this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Kune Kune Piglets

Ellie from Loburn

3 piglets needing new homes. They are all siblings which I breed but I already have 4 adult pigs. These are pets, not for eating please. They need a friend so I would prefer they all go together or at least 2 of them go together?

3 piglets needing new homes. They are all siblings which I breed but I already have 4 adult pigs. These are pets, not for eating please. They need a friend so I would prefer they all go together or at least 2 of them go together?
Their mother is the dark one featured in the photos and has a quarter devon in her, giving the piglets better features (in my opinion) - longer noses, clear to view eyes and stronger, longer legs.
Young piglet like adventures - these wee groovers have a little maturity on their side so have their routines and dine solely on grass (but they love leftovers and come when you clap your hands).
They do need pig shelter and perhaps a low electric tape fence to contain them in an area.
They have nose rings so they will not dig up the paddock and the males have been neutered. They are very friendly.
Penelope is blond
Patrick is the darkest one
Franklin has a tinge of mahogany
I would like $100 each for them
