Hibiscus Coast Community Op Shop Supports HEARTBEATS

Trent Lash from Heartbeats

Next Tuesday, 9th May, the Hibiscus Coast Community House Opportunity Shop is donating all revenues for that day, from sales of 'preloved' items, to Heartbeats support group for heart event survivors on the Hibiscus Coast.

Heartbeats started in Orewa in 2019 and now has four chapters operating across Auckland. We are a charity and volunteer organisation with no paid staff.

Drop in to the Op Shop next Tuesday and pick up one or two items that you've been thinking about for a while.

It's like getting something for yourself while making a donation to a worthy cause.
For more information about Heartbeats call Trent at 0220 606 199

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
