Not everything has to cost!
In August the Vinnies who held a pop-up free shop in Newtown are planning to run more in different locations from 17th -19th November. They will have women’s, men’s and children’s clothing, shoes, toys, and home ware available. Everything comes from Vinnies Op Shops, community donations and the generosity of Kiwi Community Assistance.
Pop-up Free Shops:
• Newtown. Sat 17 Nov 10am – 4pm Old Caltex Space, 230 Riddiford Street. (A free community lunch will also be held)
• Lower Hutt. Sat 17 Nov 10am – 4pm Sacred Heart Hall, 33 Britannia Street.

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