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

The goal is to keep these spaces open for those who truly need them. Do you think this big increase in the fine is fair? Share your thoughts below.

Smoke in Mt Wellington

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.

Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.

Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.

Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.

A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.

At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
