Your Fabric For Cancer Society

Eva from Southgate

I am part of the creative team at the Cancer Society. We make Beanies and hats for men and women Cancer Patients. There is a lot of demand for these hats and our fabric stocks are getting very low.

We would really appreciate donations of knit, stretchy fabric which is new and clean and not less than 1 meter. Any colour, and weight is fine.

Should you have any to donate, please drop them in to the Cancer Society in Newtown.

Should anyone have a working spare sewing machine they no longer need, that would also be put to good use.

We thank you in advance and appreciate all donations.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
