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.
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
Share your question below now ⬇️
Calling All Puzzle Masters! Can You Solve This?
When John was six years old he hammered a nail into his favorite tree to mark his height.
Ten years later at age sixteen, John returned to see how much higher the nail was.
If the tree grew by five centimetres each year, how much higher would the nail be?
