Make Hope the Headline

The Giving Store

We don’t need to go too far to hear about the cost of living crisis and the fact is, right now, 1 in 6 children go without essentials like food and clothing. While we can’t control this cost, we can make a difference. The Giving Store works to help kiwis give to kiwis.

Wardrobe doors and drawers - need a new home

Tracy from Waterloo

Our dressing room is being turned into an en suite and walk-in wardrobe so the current wardrobe doors and drawers need to go.

There are sliding doors, hinged cupboard doors and drawers. All are in a good condition. See the photos. The larger door handles are on the sliding doors while the smaller ones are on the other cupboards and drawers.

If you want these, you will need to remove the doors (pop out the hinge pins). It doesn't matter if damage is done to the surrounding area.

The dimensions are:

Sliding doors (x4) - H 192cm, W 77.4cm, D 2.2cm
End cupboard doors (x2) - H 105.2cm, W 45cm, D 2.2cm
Top left/right cupboard doors (x4) - H 53.8cm, W 45cm, D 2.2cm
Top middle cupboard (x1) - H 53.8cm, W 69cm, D 2.2cm
Small drawers (x2) - H 12.5cm, W 27.2cm, D 59.4cm
Large drawers (x3) - H 19 cm (one of them is 18.8cm), W 56.7cm, D 59.4cm

I want to prevent these from going to landfill since they are in such good condition. Make a small offer if you feel so inclined or just take some or all of them for free.

Never been in a crash. Has been stored in the shed and the foam padding inside of the helmet has deteriorated. The bike shop advised that these cannot be replaced as they dont make them. Someone may be clever enough to make their own padding to connect to velcro strips inside the helmet rather than throwing this helmet away. Please message me if you are interested. Pick up Epuni, Lower Hutt.

As the colder months close in, we will fire through some wellness tips to keep your body fighting fit! 🧠🥊

First up: MOVEMENT 🏃‍♀️🕺🤸‍♂️🚴‍♀️
Daily movement has been proven in countless research articles to provide benefit for immune function, reduced risk of conditions like heart disease and diabetes, and improvements in mental health!

A recent systematic review found the 150 minutes of mild-moderate exercise per week can provide substantial protection against chronic diseases - particularly cardiovascular outcomes.

Another review found that physical exercise is the single most effective prescriptive treatment for improving symptoms of depression & anxiety. 🤯😵‍💫
150 minutes per week equates to 21 minutes per day, or just 1.45% of your day total!

✅ So get out for a brisk walk, jump on the bike, get to the pool, or simply chuck on some Dua Lipa and dance for 20 minutes! Your body will thank you for it! 💃🕺

Keep an eye out for our next Winter Wellness instalment - SLEEP
