We are opening soon!
The wait is finally over. We are excited to announce that a new Red Cross Shop will be opening at 43 Carlyle Street on the 20th October and we are looking for amazing volunteers who enjoy retail and would be keen to spare a few hours each week. If you are interested, sign up now👇!
We are also looking for pre-loved good-quality furniture that you’d like to let go and donate to our shop. If you can’t drop it off yourself, no worries, we run a free collection service for bulky donations like furniture. Please call us on 06 834 4314 to arrange a suitable collection day.
We appreciate your support☺!

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.
