We get asked a lot to support different causes and we do our best to help where we can.
Recently, one came through that stuck with us.
Dan from Roof Painting Services reached out, simply trying to pull together a few local businesses to support the homeless community here in Ōtautahi this winter.
After chatting with him and Josh at the Christchurch City Mission we were able to donate 100 pairs of gloves.
Nothing massive, but something warm, practical, and needed.
Things are tough out there at the moment. For some, even the basics aren’t a given.
If you’re in a position to help, the City Mission are still after socks and hygiene items.
You can also check in with your local mission to see what’s needed.
And if you’re looking for another way to give back, Kindness Collective’s PJ Project is running again, helping provide warm pajamas to kids doing it tough this winter.
Every little bit counts.

We were proud to host a brekkie for up-and-coming trade students from Ara Institute of Canterbury recently. A few of our trade reps spent the morning chatting with the students and getting involved in a few games. Always good backing the next wave of tradies 🔧

Stop throwing your autumn leaves away 🍂🚫 (you’re wasting free garden gold)
Save this before your next yard clean-up 👇
🌿 Protect plants from frost
Create a thick layer of leaves (5–10cm) around the base of plants, veggie beds, roses, and young trees. This acts like a natural blanket, helping regulate soil temperature and protecting roots from harsh Canterbury frosts. It is especially useful for tender plants that struggle with those cold overnight drops. Be sure to keep a small gap from the stem to prevent rot
🐾 Play piles (then reuse them)
Collect leaves into piles for kids and dogs to jump, run, and play in. Once the fun is done, rake them back up and use them in garden beds or compost so nothing goes to waste.
♻️ Boost your compost
Leaves are a valuable “brown” material for compost. Mix them with “green” waste like food scraps or grass clippings to create a healthy balance. This helps prevent smells, speeds up decomposition, and gives you rich compost for your garden later on.
🎨 Nature crafts
Leaves are perfect for simple, low-cost activities. Try leaf rubbing (with a coloured pencil), pressing them for art projects, or using them as stamps with paint. It is a great way to get kids outside and using natural materials instead of store-bought craft supplies.
