Bring 2 cans of food into your local Resene ColorShop and swap them for 1 Resene testpot (60-80ml).

Resene will then donate all the food brought in to The Salvation Army local foodbanks.

By adding a little more colour to your life you can also help those in need. When you bring in 2 cans of food you'll save on your testpot purchase (save up to $5.90 on an 80ml testpot) while also helping provide disadvantaged Kiwis with food parcels when they need them most.

So start gathering up those cans and bring them into your local Resene owned ColorShop.

NO Karori Lions Karnival this year

Tom Neighbourly Lead from Karori

I guess it will come as no surprise to anyone, but the Lions Club of Karori has taken the unprecedented step of cancelling our annual Karori Lions Karnival which was to have been held on Sunday 20th of February.

Several thousand people, young and old, normally attend this event, and the club is very conscious of the disappointment that will be felt by everyone who would have taken part - either as stall holders, or their customers - this year. Our apologies to you all!
We will, of course, continue with activities and events that can be safely held under the relevant "Traffic Light" rules in force at the time - so please look out for them so you can all continue to support the club and the various organisations and individuals in our community that we will be helping.

"I was taken to SPCA by a kind person who noticed I had an injury needing treatment. I've been putting on weight and getting healthy, and am now ready to go home!
I'm a handsome, goofy, gentle giant who is loving and eager to please. I've been learning to walk nicely on a lead while at SPCA and am very responsive to treats and human affection. While I enjoy a walk, I'm also happy just to have a cuddle, and Netflix and chill.
I've made a few canine girlfriends at the centre, and mix best with larger girls who are happy to play and don't mind some barking. I am not suitable for a home with cats or small animals at this stage. I would be happy to live with teenage kids."
