Under the guidance set out by the government, we're excited that we can proceed with Term 1 classes as planned under the Red Light alert level. We will have the following precautions in place to ensure the safety of our students and staff:

➡️ Class numbers will be limited based on social distancing measures.
➡️ Vaccine passes will be required. Present this to your tutor at the first class of term.
➡️ Face masks must be worn inside the Jubilee Building at all times. If you’re doing an exercise class masks can be removed once you’re inside the room.

If for some reason your class is unable to go ahead (eg. Lockdown, further restrictions etc.) you will be refunded for all remaining classes or you can receive a credit note to use for future terms. We will also offer a virtual option so some classes can continue if possible.

If you have any further questions about how Covid-19 restrictions may affect classes, please do not hesitate to contact us at community@villagesquare.org.nz

Chip Packet Project and Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award team up to turn waste into survival sheets.

27th January 2022

New homeless support initiative Chip Packet Project NZ (CPPNZ) has teamed up with Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award to get kiwi rangatahi turning discarded chip and biscuit packets into thermal survival sheets, pillows and other vital items for those in need.

CPPNZ launched in September 2021, following a similar idea which began in the UK in 2019. National Coordinator Terrena Griffiths says the partnership will provide momentum to the initiative, by incentivising an army of young people to volunteer their time and effort gathering and processing foil packets typically used for chips, biscuits and crackers.

“It takes just 2 minutes on average to eat a packet of chips, but the foil from that chip packet can take 80 years to decompose in landfill.

“It’s actually fairly easy to clean, dry and fuse packets together to create all sorts of useful items like survival sheets, pillows, ground rolls and other essential items for those without a place to sleep.

“What Chip Packet Project NZ does is coordinate the collection of old packets, creation of sheets and partner with support services to get them to people in need.”

Items made from foil packages are already being trialed ‘in the field’ through the Auckland City Mission.

Duke of Edinburgh’s Hillary Award is a long-established community service scheme for 14 – 24 year olds, and helps connect the Chip Packet Project to willing volunteers. CPPNZ is proud to be recognised as the first accredited Award Assessor for the Duke of Edinburgh’s NZ’s new Environmental Kākāriki Journey Award.

“At a time when we are all so very aware of our planet’s plight and the environment and sustainability, turning empty foil packets into something useful reduces waste, provides comfort to those in need and diverts rubbish from landfill. For example, each survival sheet uses 44 foil chip packets - that's 3520 decomposing landfill years saved!”

Terrena Griffiths say, so far as they know, CPPNZ is the only organisation making these survival sheets in New Zealand.

About CPPNZ:

CPPNZ’s vision is to create momentum by establishing Fusion Groups in each New Zealand city making survival sheets, pillows, and torso mats for distribution to those in need through their local charities and community groups (all the while diverting rubbish from landfills).

The CPPNZ Facebook page reached 60,000 people in the initial 3 months of its operation.

Currently, there are four foil collection points in Auckland, one in Dunedin and one in Wellington.

Even the COVID lockdown in late-2021 has not been able to stop CPPNZ’s volunteers (called the CPPNZ Fusion Group) from being hard at work collecting, washing, and fusing foil. There are some great videos of this mahi in action on CPPNZ’s Facebook page @chippacketprojectnz.

Initially, CPPNZ is concentrating their efforts in Auckland and is exploring a partnership with the Auckland City Mission who are acknowledged as the experts in working with Auckland’s homeless. The Auckland City Mission is currently testing two survival sheets and a pillow ‘out in the field’.
