Wool for knitting - does anyone have some to spare please?
Following our hugely successful knitting sale recently we find there is a real demand for warm handknitted garments for babies and children.
To help us meet this demand we need more wool for our amazing knitters to create these garments.
If anyone is able to donate either some spare wool or a donation for us to purchase precious baby wool, Red Cross would gratefully receive your contribution. These can be left with at our shop at Red Cross, 35 Cadbury Rd, Onekawa , between 10 and 4 Mon to Fri.
If you would like us to collect from you, then please phone the shop during those hours 843 0013. We appreciate your support. Thank you!
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.
