St Vincent de Paul Society Wellington

🎄A MERRY VINNIES CHRISTMAS🎄 was established through the Vinnies Wellington commitment towards providing a more dignified and equitable service, by honouring a person’s autonomy over what they receive from us.

The Vinnies Welfare & Service hub transforms into a festive toy shop over December. Unwrapped, donated gifts for children aged 0 – 16 years, are displayed for whānau to come and choose from.

🎁 DONATE A GIFT
Throughout the month of November and December, we will be collecting gifts for the Merry Vinnies Toy Shop.

To make sure we can meet the need from our community, we are calling on families, corporate teams, businesses, clubs and individuals to donate gifts.

🎁 GIFT CRITERIA:
- For ages 0 - 16 years
- Unwrapped
- New condition

Please drop off gifts to the Vinnies Newtown Hub or a Vinnies op shop by 27 November (we’ll still be accepting donations throughout December).

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.

John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!

John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
