We would like to thank our Treasury Tracey Reid, our auditor Jonathan of Aurora Financials, our donors who donate to us financially and provide us with their unwanted good quality items, our volunteers who take the photos of the donations. This information is put into our report sent to the Dept of Internal Affairs annually.

With a total expenditure of $79,795 as of the 31st March 2017 our biggest expense is our warehousing costs, followed by food.

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)
