CAN YOU HELP - WE ARE NEEDING WOOL?
CAN YOU HELP!!!
We are a group of ladies who knit and crochet blankets, jumpers, hats, scarves and mittens/gloves for people in Eastern Europe who live under war conditions. Our work goes to Romania (the poorest country in Eastern Europe), Moldova and the Ukraine to help those who are in desperate need.
If you have any left-over wool that is surplus to your requirements, we would love to have it as we can make use of it - even small quantities are useful – we don’t waste anything.!!
If you can help, please call me (Pat) and I will arrange to collect it. My number is 021-057-0371.

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.
