Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, nationalities, ages, orientations and even genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.
There’s many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck where each attendee brings a dish from a country of their choice to coordinating a fundraiser that benefits refugees or our elderly there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their native language or ensuring local footpaths are accessible!
Don’t forget this month also coincides with Women’s Refugee Awareness Month and International Day of Friendship on July 30th - a United Nations day that promotes the role that friendship plays in promoting peace in many cultures.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re making your community more inclusive this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

I have a large amount of demolition wood suitable for cutting up for firewood. The wood comes from Christchurch demolition sites; the good wood has been sorted to be recycled so what I have is what's left! It may have nails, paint or borer. The wood is not suitable for making things with.

The wood is not suitable for making things with.
Access to the wood is excellent on firm ground. Pick up is from (East) Eyreton and I'm home much of the time but it would be sensible to text me first before you come.
Please note that you will be required to sign a short form saying that you take full responsibility for your health and safety. I recommend that you use gloves and have good footwear.
Hi I am looking for Tempo wool from Lincraft in shade purple2 if anyone has any they would be willing to sell please. I am knitting a blanket and running out fast. It's no longer in store. Thank you
Used corner vanity to give away in Kaiapoi. Usable but a few superficial cracks.

A curious feature of the furniture market is that if you know where to look, you can often find better deals at independent retailers than big chain stores.
We’ve got freedom to choose what we stock, which is how we get some pretty exclusive, fabulous furniture that is so affordable.

Founded 10 years ago, The Best Furniture Shop has gone from strength to strength. We don’t have a massive markup because we don’t have high overheads. That’s how we keep the prices down.
Filling The Best Furniture Shop’s large, warehouse-like store is a wide variety of quality furniture for every room of the house. Items exactly the same as found in big name stores but without the high mark-up.
For Christchurch shoppers, delivery is just $50 for as many items as will fit in the van.
I have broken the glass plate in our microwave. Does anyone have one they no longer need or know where I could get a replacement one second hand? Willing to pay.
