FUNDRAISER FOR UKRAINE. HARBOURSIDE MARKET. THIS SUNDAY (10 APRIL).

Bernie from Thorndon

Dear Wellingtonians and visitors to our lovely city:
The Ukrainian community and our supporters invite you to come and eat some delicious desserts and other baked goods AND help us support the people of Ukraine at the same time! A rag-tag team of bakers are coming to the famous Wellington Harbourside Sunday market this weekend!
We are selling a wide range of lovingly home-baked desserts and other delicious baked goods. All proceeds will go to humanitarian aid and medical support for the children and adults of Ukraine affected by the war (Ohmatdyt - ohmatdyt.com.ua... and Razom for Ukraine (razom means together in Ukrainian) - razomforukraine.org...).
We will be at the market from 8 am till 2 pm - Just look for the blue and yellow flags to find our stall.
The weather forecast for Sunday so far is looking good!
Please bring cash!
We thank Wellington City Council for it's kind support for this event.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
