Charity drive Sydenham (chch survivours & Sydenham community)

Chanelle from Sydenham

Neighbourhood chaiity-drive: Can you help?

Hi neighbours!
Christmas is approaching fast and I thought we could do something as a community to ‘give back’ to others in our area who find this time of year tough. With the recent earthquakes around the country we’ve seen how important neighbours are for helping one another get through difficult times.

During November/December you’re invited to deliver non-perishable food items or new and second hand gifts to 3/70 king street , Sydenham If you’d like to participate, please reply to this message to let me know or drop off to the addess above

After collecting the items, I’ll arrange for the donations to be received by chch survivors who will coordinate food parcels for people needing extra support within the group and other families in the community.

For some tips about what you could donate, please check the list below

New and second hand gifts for woman
Canned food
Tissues
Soaps
Shampoo and conditioner
Sanitizer
Toothpaste and toothbrushs



Thank you!

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
