Hifi CD Player

Peter from Crofton Downs

Hi neighbours,

does anybody have an old Hifi CD Player which sits useless in the garage or storage room?

Mine is broken and I'm looking for a replacement (happy to pay for it).

Cheers, Peter

Bricks needed for a garden project

Patricia from Kelburn

Does anyone have any old bricks lying around that they don't need please? We are using them to edge some new gravel beds in the garden. It doesn't matter how battered-looking they are, as long as they are intact.

We couldn’t do this without the help of many generous and kind people and organisations. One of these organisations is Project Village (Lagi Finau), who made up some amazing gift packs for lonely and isolated seniors in time for Christmas.

So, on the last working day in December, our CEO Stephen Opie and Social Connection Coordinator Kirsten Blyde spent the day delivering the gift packs all over town. “It was great to spread a little Christmas cheer a couple of days before Christmas. Some even said that this was probably the only gift they would receive,” Stephen said.

Thank you Project Village for caring for our Region’s seniors!
