First lot of Bed Rolls Delivered
On behalf of Aranui Handiscope, we would like to 'Thank' everyone who has been part of our bed rolls made out of your recycled plastic bags. We are delighted to say that on Tuesday 1st Aug we handed over our first lot of bed rolls to the Salvation Army. It was such a delight to be able to do this finally. Matthew Marks from the City Mission will come another day to collect some, as he wasn't able to attend the other day. Our members have worked so hard to get these bed rolls done and we will continue to do these. We appreciate the continued support and thank you for all the bags that are dropped off at my gate or to St Ambrose Church 309 Breezes Road. Our knitting group are now into a project of their own and making knitted or crochet baby blankets, so if anyone has any spare wool and no longer need we will be happy to take off your hands. Once again thank you for all your support.
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)
.
