VOLUNTEER WITH US!!!

Louise Clark from The Collective

Help us support mental health through sustainability! We sell beautiful preloved furniture, fashion & homewares to raise much needed funds for mental health, with 50% of our profits going directly to The Mental Health Foundation of NZ.
As a social enterprise, we operate on a skeleton team of staff so our volunteers are very important to us. Volunteering with us isn't scary, we're an informal & supportive bunch who like to have a laugh. Our desire for good mental health & wellbeing for everyone is something we all have in common.
We need:
General help out in the store (assisting customers, tidying racks, putting clothes away, steaming etc)
Repair/restoration of furniture
Sewing (cushion covers, squabs, projects)
Crafty people (help creating crafty pieces we can sell in store)
Drivers (help picking up & delivering furniture)

If you can help, please get in touch now! You can email Louise directly at louise@thecollective.co.nz or call on 0274 998998.
Look forward to hearing from you! :)

Kauri Glen Reserve treetop bridge and boardwalk now open!

John Gillon from John Gillon - Kaipatiki Local Board

NEWSFLASH: The wait is over and the Kauri Glen Reserve treetop bridge and boardwalk is NOW OPEN to the public! Check it out!

And please join us for our official opening/celebration in a couple of weeks!
➡️ When: 12pm Sunday 28 April
➡️ Where: Kauri Glen Road entrance to Kauri Glen Reserve
➡️ Facebook event: www.facebook.com...
Free BBQ! Walk the new track!

This is a new step-free route between Kauri Glen Road and Tui Glen Road, with a refurbished track (including steps) to Raymond Terrace. The new bridge is around 6 storeys high with a very impressive view of the forest tree tops.
The new tracks, bridge and boardwalk have been built to a standard to help prevent the spread of kauri dieback disease, which is especially important in this park.
*** Please always clean your shoes, bikes, prams and wheelchairs at the stations. ***

Note: We made the decision to allow public access earlier than expected to prevent further damage to the forest by those who were throwing the fences into the trees 🙁
