Childcare at Golf Club Saturday March 21, from 10am

There is free qualified childcare available at the Golf Club for those who are planning to clean up property this weekend or next. While the children may need to see the devastation to make sense of it all, it is really not safe for them to stay in the heavily affected areas. The risks are too high. This essential service is open from 10am, Saturday and Sunday.

Relief Centre Still going strong

Spent the afternoon at the Buxton Hall, helping to tidy and distribute the huge amount of items still in stock. Buxton has a number of services operating to support residents who have been displaced or disadvantaged as a result of the fires. The relief centre operates from 10am - 4pm every day. You will find a welcoming smile, someone to talk to if you wish, and of course items of everyday use. It will be here while it is needed. You may volunteer to help keep it tidy any time you like. Pop in.

Water Tank Warning

Water tanks
Rain is predicted in the area for Wednesday (March 4). If you have
not already done so, it is advised that you disconnect the
