Buckets of Good

The Team from Red Cross - Napier Service Centre

New Zealand Red Cross’ annual appeal this year is all about doing ‘Buckets of Good’ and helping cross off items of basic human need from our bucket list. It's your chance to not only make a life changing difference to people impacted by emergencies and conflict but also potentially cross off something from your own bucket list!

Use the link below to create your unique online fundraising page, set your challenge, and share with your friends. Raise $500 or more for New Zealand Red Cross from the 1st to the 31st of March and you'll enter the draw to win some amazing bucket list prizes*!


Are you a thrill seeker who’s always wanted to bungy jump at some of the most stunning locations across the motu? Are you an animal lover and have always wanted to swim with dolphins? Want to take that well deserved break you’ve been waiting for and travel on the interislander? Or do you need something even more extreme, and you would love to try skydiving? Our 'Buckets of Good’ appeal is your chance to make a difference for people in need, and you could go in the draw to win a bucket list item of your own!

POTTING MIX QUALITY

Patricia from Taradale

If, like me, you are an experienced and avid gardener you know how frustrating it is when those beautiful seedlings recently purchased fail to thrive. Have you ever considered it may not be your fault, you've done all the right things but it may be the new bag of potting mix you bought to plant them in . Have you ever complained to the garden centre? My recent experience showed the blatantly obvious difference between brands. The recently purchased product was nothing more than raw compost, whereas the previous product was a good mix and made the plants thrive. I was the only one to complain, there could not possibly be a problem with the product as they sell pallet loads of it........ Your comments would be appreciated.
