Ladies - donating pre-loved bras is a way to help women in the Pacific and in Aotearoa in need. Please see the article list below.
The church is collecting for Project Uplift on behalf of the Capital and Coast and Hutt DHBs, until 31 August. Drop off to Island Bay Presbyterian Church, 88 The Parade, marked DHB collection.
Please consider donating the following items:

Bras - Any cup size – the bigger the better! In any condition
Sports bras and crop tops
Nursing bras and reusable breast pads
Mastectomy bras and breast forms (prostheses) – If possible please send the box with the breast form/prosthesis, and put the relevant bras under the plastic mould, in the bottom of the box. These will be given to hospitals for distribution. If sending bras only, without breast forms/prostheses, please include a note so we don't miss-sort them.
Swimwear – Any size – a lot of women fish or dive for their livelihoods.
NEW underpants – In some places a girl without underpants does not go to school during her period.
Fabric nappies – Second hand or new.

Bras are important for comfort and practicality, but also for health reasons. It is difficult to access bras in some of the pacific islands and many cannot afford to buy them. This causes complications with infection, personal dignity and discretion.

Be among one of the first audiences in the world to see this great film, being presented to you by Karori Lions Club (UK release on 9 September, and US and most of the world on the 16th - the day after our screening).

"See How They Run" is an original story by Mark Chappell. Here is the official synopsis:
"In the West End of 1950s London, plans for a movie version of a smash-hit play come to an abrupt halt after a pivotal member of the crew is murdered. When world-weary Inspector Stoppard and eager rookie Constable Stalker take on the case, the two find themselves thrown into a puzzling whodunit within the glamorously sordid theater underground, investigating the mysterious homicide at their own peril."
