Spaces available to choose Christmas gifts for your children.

St Vincent de Paul Society Wellington

🎁💙 Do you need help with presents for the kids this year?

The Vinnies Welfare and Services Hub has transformed into a festive toy shop. Make a booking to pick and wrap gifts you would like for your children:

🎁 How can I access the shop?
We ask that people pre-book a ‘shopping slot’. Each slot allows 15 minutes to browse and choose the gifts. Bookings can be made by:
- call 04 389 7122
- email info@vinnieswgtn.org.nz
- drop into level 1, 207 Riddiford Street Newtown

🎁 Access Criteria?
- be the parent or primary caregiver
- be able to show a Community Services Card or benefit breakdown
- picking for children aged 0 - 16 years

💙 The old saying goes ‘Christmas is the time for giving’. We're going a step further and make sure this ‘giving’ puts the dignity and mana of our community whānau first.

Poll: Have you kept trinkets from your life?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Many of us are sentimental about our childhoods and lives, and some even collect things to remember moments or people.

Share what you've held on to over the years and whether you still have it today. Feel free to share photos too, we'd love to see.

This is a tough one, neighbours, can you figure out all of them?

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

Before any changes, I’m a garlic or spice.
My first is altered and I’m a hand-warming device.
My second is changed and I’m trees in full bloom.
The next letter change makes a deathly old tomb.
Change the fourth to make a fruit of the vine.
Change the last for a chart plotted with lines.
What was I? What did I become? What did I turn out to be?
