Creative community space
Hi everyone.
We have recently opened up a non profit community creative space in Tawa where people can come in and work on projects in a creative atmosphere, host group activities, display their work in the gallery and meet people with similar interests.
We want to try make our current space as inviting and welcoming as possible. We want to take this opportunity to make the site a more vibrant place. To do this we need help.
We also would like people or groups that are interested in using the space on a regular basis to get in touch with us and tell us when they would plan to pop in and what that would like to do. (please note the site is only a temporary pop up site till the end of July but if we can get enough people involved finding and setting up a more permanent site will be easier)
Please if you or anyone you know can help with anything on the following list please get in touch with us.
List:
Tables and chairs
Art work or things you have made you want to show off
Sewing machines or over-lockers or other sewing gear
Un-used fabric for people to use
Craft gear or supply's you don't use anymore
Comfy couches or bean bags
Old table top/diorama gear like models and mini characters (for people to mess around with for photos or table top gaming)
Things to help the entrance look more inviting and bright and friendly
Or if you want to help out/be involved in some other way let us know
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
