Do you have excess fruit on your trees?
The wonderful team at Community Fruit Wellington rescue fruit from donors and distribute it to those in need. If you have a plum tree (or any fruit tree) with more fruit that you can use, or know of someone else who does, don’t let it go to waste! Email wellypickfruit@gmail.com or phone/text 022 596 9577 to arrange collection.
Pictured is a haul of Wilson's Early Plums picked last week from a repeat donor.

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)
.
