The Week at Manchester Street

Red Cross Store Manchester St

So this week we have the books on sale for $1.00. With more going out.

We have a lovely wedding dress (10 - 14) on display, just what you are looking for.

Material on the front table still on going with more to come.

There is an awesome 3/4 bed complete with boxed Trundler underneath. This is in great condition.

WE NEED FURNITURE!!!! If you have any that you are wanting to donate please do not hesitate to contact us and we can collect from you 03 3652 051.

A big shout out to the our Red Cross First Response Teams up north and all the work they do.

Just a little information for the readers - The proceeds from our stores across the country go directly to our First Response teams so that they can do what they do in times like those that we are facing at the moment.

If you are wanting to donate there are 3 ways:

Cash Donation on Line redcross.org.nz
Cash Donation within the store
Saleable goods donated to the stores and these sold as mentioned this going to our teams.

And of course by shopping with us you are not only helping with the course but also recycling.

Please note: We are NOT transporting donated goods to the affected areas.

Look forward to seeing you all.

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.

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
