Random Acts of Kindness Day - this SATURDAY

The team from Splice

In preparation for Random Acts of Kindness Day, 1 September 2018, Splice is raising the volume, on the potential of kindness as a force for good in the community.

For our third year running, Splice will once again be hitting the main street of the city centre neighbourhood handing out 5000x “Little Pots of Kindness” (honey) and a kindness card, encouraging the contagious nature of kindness. Members of The Auckland Street Choir will be on hand for a little joyously kind singing too.

A number of cafes around the city centre will be surprising their customers with a free coffee and local supermarket, New World Metro on Queen St are coming to the kindness party too. In addition to some in-store acts of kindness, New World Metro’s coffee kiosk will be delivering coffees for a gold coin donation. These donations will go toward the Community Fridge at Griffiths Gardens (Wellesley St West), the fridge that helps feed streeties and others in need.

The above activities will be occurring from 8am onward Friday 31 August 2018 heralding Random Acts of Kindness Day 1 September on Saturday.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
