Big thanks CERT for the $5,000 grant towards Rent costs, approved March and recently received. Our landlord waived one month’s Rent payment of $3,550. We applied and have received the 8 week Wage Subsidy extension for our two paid staff.

At the beginning of this month, we hosted a Lego display and proceeds donated to us, thanks Brickonymous. We are planning another Lego display over the July School holidays during our open hours. The Carboot Sale went well but due to the weather finished early. We intend to do this again.

Workshops to make musical instruments using recycled materials, will be held over the July School Holidays, thanks to support from Creative Communities.

Volunteers/Helpers Wanted

Friends, members, supporters and waste warriors!

We always need enthusiastic volunteers for regular or one of events to help us bring our waste reuse message to the wider Christchurch community.

Creative Junk is a charity that has been operating in Christchurch for over 39 years, recycling materials for use by the community and schools as an affordable resource for art and craft projects, giving a second lease of life to items that would otherwise end up in the landfill.

Creative Junk needs support to stay open, to offer this important resource to the community and continue to divert materials away from the landfill by giving them a creative second lease on life, thereby doing its bit to help save the environment. Any support, either funding or publicity to get the word out to the wider community, would be appreciated.

Many thanks to our current Funders.
