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).

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
