Calling schools or sewing/craft clubs or charities - free materials and craft things

Lucinda Neighbourly Lead from Mangere

Hi,

If you work for a school or club teaching sewing or crafts or are part of a charity making things (especially for animal charities). I have a lot of material and other things to help that you are welcome to have free.

I would rather they go somewhere doing good but if you are an individual and would like it all please could you pay me something towards it. I would consider $90 more than reasonable given the amount and quality. The materials alone cost at least four times that.

You’d have to collect from Mangere as there’s quite a lot including:

Lace
Silk
Materials
Bias binding
Knitting needles
Hooks and eyes
Sewing needles
Filling
Foam
Buttons

Amongst other things!

Have a look at the photos. I have more photos of the rest if you message me.

Sorry I can’t measure everything. I also prefer it all goes at the same time. Thanks

Cheers

Negotiable

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
