Wadestown Playgroup - new members welcome!
Have you been thinking about coming along to Playgroup but wondering how much work it is?
Good news, not much at all!
Our aim is to provide a safe supportive environment for children to play and adults to meet friends in our community. Many hands make light work and we try to keep it simple.
When you sign up to attend a session for the term (e.g. Tuesdays) you go on the roster, which means you’ll get 2-3 duties per ten week term where you do either ‘Kids morning tea’ or ‘Adults morning tea’.
🍏🍊🍌🥝🍍🍉
Kids morning tea involves bringing some fresh fruit and putting it out with other food that playgroup provides. Setting out the children’s plates, water, cups. Then tidying it up (but others help too).
Adults morning tea means bringing some milk from home and then preparing coffee and tea pots. And tidying it up. ☕️
We all chip in to set up activities for the children at the start and then pack up at the end. 🎨 🚗 🖍 🧸 🚂
If you need to leave early or arrive late that’s totally fine, everyone helps out as they can. We all have lives and naps to work around! 😴
Come along and check Playgroup out, first two sessions are free!
If you have any questions please email WadestownPlaygroup@gmail.com or ask the key contact at a session.
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
