We've teamed up with KidsCan!
We are super proud to be supporting charitable trust, KidsCan to help kids in need with food, clothing and health items at school. Join us in making a difference this month by donating a coin when you next visit our store. The coin donation boxes are located at the checkout.
Hungry, wet, cold and stressed is no way to start the school day (if it doesn’t stop them from getting to school) but for over 295,000 Kiwi children living in hardship that is the reality. This can impact their educational growth and lead to a lifelong pattern of underachievement. There is a way to break this cycle; by providing simple things like food, shoes, socks and raincoats, so kids can arrive at school ready and able to learn. KidsCan's aim is to prevent children in hardship from becoming adults in hardship by giving them the start in life they deserve.

EarthDiverse: Art Appreciation Café (Thursdays in November, 7:00-8:30pm)
Kia ora,
Just a quick reminder that we’re running our Art Appreciation Café gatherings every Thursday in November, and we’d love for you to drop by and join the group! We meet from 7:00-8:30pm and there are two sessions remaining: Thur 21 November, and Thu 28 Nov.
Location: EarthDiverse Centre: 401 Anglesea Street, Hamilton CBD
(Note that we’re just a few shops north of the Hamilton Central Bus Station, and on the same side of the street. Entrance is on the left side of the building, upstairs, first floor. Plenty of off-street parking in front of and on the left side of the building.)
Come by and join us for some biscuits, tea/coffee, some great discussions about particular works of art, and make some new friends!
