Our sincere thanks...to YOU
Our sincere thanks go out to those lovely people who donated beds, duvets and blankets. They have gone out to families and we have had many parents in absolute gratitude for your kind donations.Parents who are now thankfully in houses and no longer in cars or safe houses.
We will always need children's blankets and single duvets ( in good condition) so please donate those unwanted extra's. Also a HUGE thanks to the donations of knitted bootees and bed socks for children.Thanks once again for your kindness and faithfulness.
We have had to turn down requests for firewood..if you or anyone you know has cheap firewood that can be delivered...please leave your contact details with our office between 9am-12pm weekdays. Our clients can sometimes access a grant for firewood if not too expensive.
Our number : 8439803. God Bless you Napier residents for stepping up and helping.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
