Help keep our welfare services open - Street Collectors Wanted
Do you have an hour or more to spare on Friday 28 June?
The Vinnies Street Appeal is back and we are looking for people to collect on Wellington's streets in support of the Vinnies welfare services.
As a self-funded organisation, this appeal is vital for the future of our services which include:
- A choice based food bank.
- A full-time social worker.
- Supported employment for people with intellectual disabilities.
- Access to free furniture, homeware and clothing.
- Clothing and bedding packs to new mum’s and their babies.
- Companionship to those in rest homes, hospitals and isolated residencies.
- An inclusive sustainable sewing studio providing meaningful activity for the community.
Interested in joining the team?

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?
Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?
What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

What flowers are blooming in your garden?
Kia ora neighbours,
In our September mag, Amy Roberts from Villaleigh Plants has a list of her favourite blooms for long display. "If you want a long season, look beyond the flowers," is her advice. Here are her picks: Geranium phaeum 'Mourning Widow', Salvia leucantha, Hylotelephium 'Autumn Joy' (pictured), Eryngium pandanifolium and Alchemilla mollis.
Have you got them in your garden? In fact, we'd love to see what you've got in bloom now. Post a photo and share the joy!
