Charity Shoe Drive and Sale!

Monica from Waterloo

On Tuesday 25 April (Anzac Day) Greenstone Doors Charitable Trust are holding a Shoe Sale at the St Peter and Paul's Church Hall at 60 Knights Road Lower Hutt from 1pm-4pm. We already have many dozens of brand new shoes donated by local and online shoe shops but we are asking the public to donate their shoes that are surplus to their requirements and in as new or good condition to our sale. This is a fundraiser for Greenstone Doors Charitable Trust www.greenstonedoors.co.nz.......... It also serves as an opportunity for families to get good quality shoes for their family at a very reasonable price. Shoes of all sizes and styles accepted (and also handbags and belts etc). They can be dropped off to the front porch of 23 Burnside Street Waterloo OR to St Peter and Paul's Church at 60 Knights Road (if open) OR you can call Monica on 021 2991138 to have any saleable shoes collected. Thanks to all those who have already donated shoes to this project!

Neighbourly Q&A: Consumer rights with CAB's Andrew Hubbard

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

What can you do if you buy something that breaks soon after you buy it? It's time for another helpful Q&A.

This week we have Andrew Hubbard from Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand (CABNZ) who will be answering your questions about your consumer rights.

A little bit about Andrew:
Dr Andrew Hubbard is deputy chief executive of Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand (CAB) and loves working for the CAB so much that he’s been there for more than fifteen years.

Andrew believes in the difference people can make working together in the community and loves being able to support the work of the more than 2000 CAB volunteers across the motu. Andrew’s background is in policy and he’s been actively involved in consumer issues for the fifteen years he’s been at the CAB.

Andrew and the CAB team are ready to answer your questions about your consumer rights. This might be questions about when you can get a refunds, your rights when buying via Facebook or overseas, product delivery issues and what to do if a retailer won't sort a problem out for you. Ask away!
