Melbourne cubby houses raise $92,500 for Australian charity Kids Under Cover

Charlotte Evers from Playhouse Challenge

Ali of the TPA team was thrilled to be invited to Melbourne last week to Kids Under Cover's Cubby House Challenge auction. It was a lovely setting in the gardens and the auction was a fast and furious affair.

The winning cubby (playhouse) GLOWB by Playce and Agency of Sculpture fetched an amazing $26,000! Bidders broke all auction records, with a massive $92,500 raised.

A big thank you to Kids Under Cover for their wonderful hospitality and ongoing support of our first Playhouse Challenge at the upcoming Star Home and Leisure Show. Watch out for the TPA/Birthright Playhouse Challenge designs (soon to be released) They too are amazing!

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.
