Spaces available to choose Christmas gifts for your children.
🎁💙 Do you need help with presents for the kids this year?
The Vinnies Welfare and Services Hub has transformed into a festive toy shop. Make a booking to pick and wrap gifts you would like for your children:
🎁 How can I access the shop?
We ask that people pre-book a ‘shopping slot’. Each slot allows 15 minutes to browse and choose the gifts. Bookings can be made by:
- call 04 389 7122
- email info@vinnieswgtn.org.nz
- drop into level 1, 207 Riddiford Street Newtown
🎁 Access Criteria?
- be the parent or primary caregiver
- be able to show a Community Services Card or benefit breakdown
- picking for children aged 0 - 16 years
💙 The old saying goes ‘Christmas is the time for giving’. We're going a step further and make sure this ‘giving’ puts the dignity and mana of our community whānau first.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
