New year, means more families to help
Hi Neighbours!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and new year period. We are back in action from the 9th but unfortunately have a wait list of children needing help from the moment we go back to work and are desperately needing these items. If you could bring these to us when we open on the 9th OR if you get in touch with me, I can arrange for a collection otherwise you're more than welcome to drop off locally to me.
The items we are needing are as follows:
- Cots
- Prams
- Bassinets
- New born clothing
- Car seats (all stages and non expired)
- Size 2,3,4,5 and 6 clothing
- Bassinet bedding
- Blankets
When we walk into the factory, we have 34 applications from the moment we get going, 8 prams, 8 bassinets, and 9 car seats is what is included in these that we don't have.
Towards the end of last year we started to have completely empty shelves, this was a result of the need we were seeing so we are desperately needing a large supply of all things in order to fill the needs we will continue to see in 2023.
If you can help we would be forever grateful, otherwise if not and you are able to share this post we will again be forever grateful for that too!
Thank you.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
