WINTER DONATIONS & SATURDAY VOLUNTEERS
Heya Community,
Thanks for your incredible support this week as always. We're still on the hunt for more donations, especially WINTER CLOTHING & MENSWEAR. Remember we offer free collection Monday to Friday!
We're also looking for a couple of enthusiastic volunteers to join us on Saturdays!
(9:30-1:30 & 1:30-5:00)
Whether you're a morning person or prefer the afternoon shift, we'd love your help. All you need is to be friendly, have great communication skills, and if you have an eye for design, that's a bonus! Plus, we won't say no to a good singing voice or a love for chocolate biscuits 😉
Drop by and chat with Pen if you're interested!
See you in store this weekend 🏠,
Red Cross Richmond
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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

84.4% Yes

14.1% No
