MONTHLY FUNDRAISER CAFE and CAR BOOT SALE

Kate from Trentham

Did you know that, even though the Monthly Garage Sale with the Big Difference closed after THIRTY YEARS, the MONTHLY CAR BOOT SALE is continuing - alongside a new community event, a MONTHLY FUNDRAISER CAFE? All funds raised go to Circuit International, a home-grown organisation helping the poor and disadvantaged in Myanmar and also sponsoring a girl in Ethiopia through TEAR Fund.
Both of these events are put on at Upper Hutt Baptist Church's Community Centre, corner Fergusson Drive and Milton Street. FIRST SATURDAY EVERY MONTH! Car boot sites $15 need to be booked at 528-3454.
The FUNDRAISER CAFE opens from 10am till midday serving a pot of tea or percolated coffee with a slice of home-made cake for only $4. Some months, there's even live music and we're hoping to have a HOME BAKING TABLE with items for sale. Pop in on SATURDAY 1 AUGUST and check us out!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
