What do you think about it?

Seddon Community and Neighbourhood Support Group
Seddon is our small rural township located to the south of Blenheim on SH1. Rocked and devastated (again) by the quakes in November 2016. With the loss of access to Christchurch via the Main North Line, and SH 1, we are at the “end of the line”. Every one of our self employed residents has taken a huge hit, many of whom can no longer support themselves especially with the removal of all emergency funding as of the 14th February. we are hoping to be able to provide to the whole community, access to essential first aid kits at reasonable and affordable costs to all the residents. It is for this initiative we are seeking some funding in order to subsidise these kits. VOTE NOW!!

Does anyone know of a place I can get either stretch slip covers or furniture reupholstered cheaply? I've been to a couple of upholsterers in Taupo and it's looking like it would be cheaper to buy a new suite!! There's nothing on TradeMe either. Can anyone help?
