Quality Blankets Wanted!
Kia ora neighbours! ❤️
Do you have a quality blanket you don't use anymore?
Sustainability Options are running a blanket drive for families they work with in cold, damp homes.
I feel like this winter has been tough. We have had long, cold nights, and weeks of rain, I have been freezing and live in a lovely home I can only imagine how hard this must make it for locals in homes who can't hold in the heat or keep out the wetness 🥶
Woolen or quality blankets are a great way to help a family snuggle up warm while the winter weather continues. But they are currently running low. If you have preloved blankets that have been tucked away in the hot water cupboard, wardrobe, or spare room, this might be the perfect opportunity to give them another lease of life!

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.
