A $6000 donation from the Mahu Community Trading Post has kicked off AIM’s fundraising to buy a new vehicle.
Warkworth-based AIM (Adults in Motion) provides activities and support for young adults with intellectual disabilities.
AIM manager Sarah Allan says their current Nissan Elgrand minivan can no longer accommodate the growing number of members, nor some types of wheelchairs that the members require.
“One of our members has had an upgrade on his wheelchair, which is great, but it doesn’t fit in our current van,” she says.

Two Warkworth Kiribati women, who harnessed their love of sewing to start businesses from their homes, are now selling island-style clothing throughout New Zealand.
And their success has inspired other women in Warkworth’s substantial Kiribati community to do the same.
Arinateti Baia and Tuimata Baoti create and sell tibutas (a traditional woman’s blouse), shirts, dresses and children’s clothing. Once made, the clothes are picked up or posted to customers. Both women have buyers from as far away as Hamilton and Wellington, as well as locally. Arina Sewing is Arinateiti’s first business, but she has been sewing since she was 15.
Twenty dollar winter outfits in Mahurangi – is it possible?

As we head into winter with tighter budgets in a continuing global pandemic, two University of Auckland students, home for the holidays, test the local op-shopping scene. Can they get a winter outfit with a budget of only $20? Massey communications student Alisha McLennan finds out …
Hannah Dunn and Caoimhe Lane are both in their fourth year of their respective conjoint degrees, so they have been running on a student budget for quite some time. Confident that their op-shopping skills were up to the challenge, they spent a few hours last week exploring op-shops throughout Warkworth and Wellsford.
