Thank you
I would like to say a big Thank you to all who attended our 1st Handbags and Gladrags charity auction for the CanInspire charitable trust.
It was a fabulous evening & over 50 gorgeous bags filled with mystery gifts/vouchers went home with ladies from all over the Bay & beyond. If anyone has photos from the event they would love to share please feel free to send them to me, or post in the comment box.
A huge Thank you to all the local businesses who kindly donated goodies, they were very much appreciated.
For those of you who missed out on coming to this amazing night, don’t fret, it is now an annual event, so watch this space, or contact sharyn@caninspire.org.nz for more information.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
