Is it time for an autumn clean out?
Okay, it's autumn and not very nice outside.
You might be thinking that you'd like a last good clean before winter really settles in.
We're here to help!
We've got a big list of things to do this winter at our Oasis on Hospital road in Newtown and we need a few things to do that. By getting rid of things you no longer want or need you become our farm fairy god-parents!
Our focus this winter is ensuring that our new container gets properly fitted out so we can do more classes and have more school kids come out to the farm and learn about it. We've got a need for some tools so that our volunteers have something to work with when they come in to help. And we'd like to do some fundraising events there, so we're looking for a few things for that. Below is a list of the things that we need in good, working nick.
If you can help (and we really do appreciate it!) please contact Lisa at 027 348 1097 or lisa.long@gmail.com. For more about what we do, check out this page: www.facebook.com...

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.6% ... It is complicated
Magazines
Hi I have to let go of piles of magazines. The World of Interiors, Stitchcraft, House and Garden, NZ Gardener and Craft NZ if anyone wants them or some of them...free
