🎁Children's gift donations needed!🎁
The Vinnies Christmas Toy Shop has been open for 6 days. 84 families have been through, choosing gifts for 216 children.
It has been been a busy two weeks, with every day fully booked.
We have another 8 days of operations left, and they are nearly all booked up with families looking for Christmas assistance.
❗We are running very low on gifts!❗ If you're in a position to do so, please consider donating a gift to the Merry Vinnies toy shop.
(gifts for teenagers are the most needed).
Donations can be dropped off directly at the Vinnies Welfare and Support Hub - level 1, 207 Riddiford Street Newtown.

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.

.
