FreeForAll Successful Free Pop up Op Shop
A HUGE thank you to all of the incredible volunteers that helped run this last event. It takes a huge amount of work to get this to the community especially as we are getting bigger, which is exciting! If you can help, in anyway - lifting, social media, organizing, advertising and more!
This event was successful with over 300 people through in 14 hours opening time. 30m3 of items went from beds to cutlery!!! Considering how cold it is I think that was a pretty good turn out.
We have to make a special mention about all of the people that brought items to share, thank you!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
