This year we are doing our appeal a bit differently and we need your help! Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 and the Red Traffic Light settings we can’t go ahead with our physical street collection so instead, we are partnering with www.Chooza.com... to bring you our "List, Sell, Give Hope!" campaign.
It’s easy! You list it, someone else buys it and together you give hope by supporting New Zealand Red Cross. With your help, we can continue to support those most vulnerable in our communities when they need it most!
So, this weekend why not find some items lying around home that you have been meaning to rehome or donate to charity and add them to Chooza. New or pre-loved, if it is worth $14.99 or more you can find a new home for it and support New Zealand Red Cross at the same time.
With every item listed you will get a donation receipt for the sale price that you can claim back as a taxable donation, so it is a win-win-win situation.
Check out www.chooza.com... to find out more!

A trial to switch car parks for outdoor seating on Edinburgh Street in Pukekohe has locals and businesses owners excited about the extra dining space, particularly for summer.
Eke Panuku Development Auckland installed dining tables with umbrellas, plus some benches, in front of Edinburgh St cafes and restaurants after the local businesses asked for help getting extra space for customers.
The team worked with the businesses owners to design the space outside Winner Winner, Hiroba Sushi and Kaos Café. Their work included levelling the space with platforms and installing planter boxes between the dining areas and the traffic.
These new spaces could be made permanent after a short summer trial if the businesses owners and locals want them to say.
Eke Panuku priority location director Richard Davison explained the team used light materials for the trial run but would opt for concrete and quality wood if the community wanted a year-round, permanent option, either in the current location or in other places too.
Permanent installations would be entirely funded by Eke Panuku, he said.
Davison said he and his team took lessons from last years’ trial with one way streets and reduced parking, which they applied to building this trial of outdoor seating.
He said he hopes the new seats go some way to energising the town centre and welcomes interest from other businesses who might be keen on something similar.
At Kaos Cafe on Monday, Dan Harris, Diana and Michele said they were loving the outdoor space, and said they had no trouble parking nearby, rather than right outside the cafe where they were now sitting.
Also on Eke Panuku’s radar is nearby Roulston Park. Consultations around improving the park will begin this month.

Campbell Tyson chartered accounting firm has turned 100 years old. It was first established as E D Wilkinson in 1922 in the Legal Chambers building in lower King Street, and in the last century has survived mergers, changes and more to become the largest firm in the district today.
To celebrate the milestone, CT management gave their nearly 70 staff $100 to spend on themselves from the local cafes and retailers in Pukekohe, near their new building on Wesley Street.
Director Kirsty Bullen, who joined the firm in 2012, said she believes CT has survived so long because the local community supports it so much.
"We’re very conscious of that and we give back as much as we can. And on top of that, it’s about the people. There has always been a sense of guardianship, and that you need to leave Campbell Tyson in a better place than what you find it in,” she said.
To last the next 100 years, CT will be evolving and changing, in particular to face the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic that confront both the firm and its clients, Bullen said.
“The communities we serve are quite special. We’re really lucky that we’re provincial. It’s a different type of accounting to the big city, you really have to understand what goes on here and you have to be involved,” Bullen said.
That’s why we’re so focused on giving back to the community.”
