Hi Cambridge community 🤝

We currently have a range of items available in our **Community Care Shed** and would love to support families who may be doing it tough.

Available items include:
• Washing machine
• Bikes
• Clothing
• Books
• China cabinet
• Kitchenware
• Bedding
• Puzzles
• Homeware
• Beds and furniture

We would also love your support with **birthday and celebration items** 🎂🎈
I truly believe every child deserves to celebrate their birthday, even when life is tough.
If you have any spare party decorations, cake supplies, or simple party items you aren’t using, we would be grateful to take them off your hands. Nothing flash — even a basic cake helps make a child feel special.

If you or someone you know is in need, please don’t hesitate to send me a private message 💛

**Men’s Group update:**
Our last men’s group went really well, and we are now sorting the next dates and location. We would love to hear your voice and ideas for the next one.

**Sausage Sizzle this Saturday 🌭**
Come down and support us at Mitre 10 Cambridge and help support Te Manawa o Cambridge. We would love to see you there.

From the community, for the community 🤝

Love Ray N Dwain

Valentine's Day is just around the corner - so perfectly timed to put a spotlight on our super-duo behind the scenes here at our joint!

Aaron & Aroha's ❤ journey from passion to plate began in 2017. Their adventure started in a homebuilt food trailer.

Through hard work, dedication, and a dream, they grew from serving kerbside, catering at large-scale events, to opening their very own restaurant.

👉This Valentine's Day, they will supply the smoke - so you can provide the fire🔥

If you have a special meat-loving carnivore, treat them this Valentine's Day to some tasty BBQ goodness.👇
Open from 4pm Sat 14th Feb ❤️🖤❤️🖤
