Donations for Upper South Island Floods

Vicki Parker from NZ Gifts of Love and Strength

Remember when everyone has helped us Cantabrians during our darkest days with the quakes, fires, floods, mosque shootings ?

Here is our chance to uplift spirits in the Upper South Islabd without it costing a lot of money.

The ONLY items that are being accepted at all NEW WORLD Supermarkets in Canterbury and other businesses mentioned in the attached media release are:

A bought or handmade card ( do not seal envelope) a nice message inside

A packet of lollies or multi pack or chocolate

A knitted or sewn small heart / worry worm/ hug to fit inside envelope as a forever keepsake

These items will be distributed to the most severely affected families by Lions Host Nelson and Havelock Lions Clubs.

Please support this appeal. The recipients will be receiving these in approximately 3 weeks time as a wee pick me up to let them know that others have not forgotten about them.

If schools etc want to get involved please email us at giftsofloveandstrength@gmail.com

Thank you for your generosity and kindness.

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.

But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions

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!
