In our own backyard, our youngest kids are going without the basics. Unlike schools, early childhood centres don’t have a nationwide support programme. Children under 5 are at the most crucial age for brain development.

But KidsCan is helping. Since October they've been delivering five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres, and kitting out kids with new raincoats and shoes. They want to extend the programme, so no one misses out on learning.

KidsCan, Neighbourly and Stuff have partnered up to raise enough money to feed and clothe 1000 more children under five. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz.

Superannuation Injustice Petition

Repealing Section 70 of the Social Security Act 2018.
We believe this law adversely affects those in a permanent relationship with a person who has an overseas pension; that a couple is not treated as individuals but as an 'economic unit', with the New Zealander then finding they lose most, if not all, of their superannuation which is an 'individual entitlement'. This form of means testing can cause not just a monetary loss but a loss of independence. This puts a strain on relationships and affects people's emotional and physical health.

Shower Glass protection

Doug from ClearShield Surface Restore & Protect BOP Ltd

For these Mt Maunganui & Whakamarama showers even though they were well looked after by their owners, the glass was just showing the first signs of losing glass clarity. Also the glass surface was starting to get rough, a sign of contaminants binding to the pores of the glass.

For these Mt Maunganui & Whakamarama showers even though they were well looked after by their owners, the glass was just showing the first signs of losing glass clarity. Also the glass surface was starting to get rough, a sign of contaminants binding to the pores of the glass.
With early intervention, less glass corrosion has occurred, yes, just like most building materials, glass gets attacked by the elements and damage occurs.
This is mostly due to glass not being a flat surface but has pores, so lost glass clarity is unavoidable, so ClearShield glass protection is a must. ClearShield seals the pores of the glass and stops any future glass corrosion. Also the glass clarity/sparkle of new glass is retained with little effort, 5 to 10 minutes cleaning/week.

Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga - this is a genuine Wiggles Big Red Car kids suitcase!

Still in pretty good condition considering this has been through the airport baggage system a couple of times...and you know how well they treat your suitcases.
Wheels turn fine and the handle's still going up and down. All zips work and no rips or tears.
Approx bag dimensions (not including handle height) are: height - 48cm, length - 28cm and width - 16cm. That doesn't include the front clear pocket area which can also have things put in it.

Any kid who's a wiggles fan is going to lose their mind with this.

Pick-up in the Mount, just off Tay Street.

Is listed elsewhere.
No time-wasters!
