St John's Charity shop🚑
Does anyone know what has happened to the St John's Charity shop that was located in Henderson, which now sits completely vacant?
I've checked on their website and the only St John shops that are now open are the followinig: Browns Bay, Howick, Manukau, Onehunga, Papakura & Wairau Park - NONE OUT WEST!
I wonder if was because the actual customers buying had dropped dramitically of the last 12 months or so.
If it is the reason, I'm not surprised as they had priced so many of their items close to retail prices as so many other second hand places seem to be doing now; Savemart is a perfect example of a second hand place doing this dreaful practice.
I know most of them are for charity and want money for their (mostly) worthy causes, but surely selling second (sometimes third or fourth) hand goods, retail pricing doesn't occur, unless it's an antique shop of course.

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)
