Dress For Success
Our donation lockers are proving a hit with the Rolleston Square community! You'll find them located between Industria Store and Pure Collective, with another beside Viva La Moda.
We're seeing some fantastic quality items come through, which is wonderful. When donating, please keep items work-appropriate - clothing, shoes and handbags only. Quality over quantity is key, so aim for one or two top-notch pieces per donation rather than large bags.
BellyFul
Bellyful Selwyn is a volunteer-run charity that provides cooked meals to local whānau with babies or children under 12 who are going through a tough time - whether that's illness, bereavement, stress, isolation or welcoming a new baby. No questions asked, no judgement, just support.
Meals are generously cooked and delivered by volunteers right here in the Selwyn community. You can help by dropping pantry items such as pasta, rice, lentils or canned goods into the Bellyful Selwyn collection tubs around Rolleston Square. You'll find them at Pure Collective, Rolleston Haircuts and Colours, Viva La Moda, Unichem Rolleston Central Pharmacy, Nicola Grigg MP, and the Rolleston Square office.
If you or a whānau you know could use a hand, or you'd like to volunteer or donate, get in touch with the Bellyful Selwyn team.
