Just a quick update on the chainsaw, Razor stopped in at last week and picked up the brand new chainsaw that an amazing anonymous donor purchased for us! Having this larger one will halve the time the lads currently take when felling and chopping up the tree's which is amazing! We would love to be able to purchase a second one to speed things up even more, so please every cent helps if you can! https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/new-chainsaw-for-firewood-fundraiser

Flashback to the Rolleston Christian School Fair where Razor helped the school to raise funds by being their auctioneer! And when he's so busy you have to call in the help from the landlord! Jhr Ltd are another local business who not only let us lease part of their shed to store all the outdoor gear and share the office with Jemma but Jim also helps support our young lads into work as well! The support of these businesses is something we couldn't do what we do without!

What does your Friday look like? Here's a couple of our lads (old and young) on work experience with the guys from Go 4 Green Electrical this morning!

We are so grateful for the support from local businesses like Go 4 Green helping us get these young people meaningful experience and helping them into the workforce when they leave school!

Well in 30 years I'm not sure I've ever known Razor to be speechless! Razor got a call from STIHL SHOP Rolleston this morning to tell him that an anonymous donor had walked in and purchased Moral Compass one of the chainsaws that we are needing for the Firewood Project 🤯! Blown away doesn't even cut it! Thank you to this wonderful person! We still have a bit of a way to buy the second one for the boys to use, but man alive the next trip to the forestry is going to be so good! 😍

We need your help!

A big part of our Work Experience Wednesday sessions are working in the forestry preparing trees for our Firewood Fundraising Project each year, this provides genuine work experience for young people as well as a funding stream for Moral Compass.

We are extremely grateful to be offered a new larger chainsaw for Razor and the team to use at a discounted rate from Stihl Rolleston, but we need extra funds to purchase the chainsaw! Purchasing this chainsaw will both speed up the work, as well as make it easier for the mentors to use than the current ones that we have that were donated to the project 2 years ago, and are getting a little old and needing more and more repairs done to them!

Please click on the link to help us raise the money for the chainsaws, and remember if you're looking for firewood for next winter get in touch, the lads normally deliver in December and January and last year we sold out, so you're welcome to start ordering now ready for next year!

How awesome is this piece of artwork that was presented to Razor by one of the young lads that he is mentoring! The hard work, time and concentration that went into creating this just warms the heart! It has pride of place at home with Razor!
