Antique buyers here visiting the Coast
company’s chief buyer.
IN today’s trend of downsizing and decluttering our homes, it’s the perfect time to go through those drawers and cupboards and turn those unwanted items into cash.
Antique Buyers, and fatherson duo, Mike and Nate, will be travelling to the Sunshine Coast from June 16-21. “We are enthusiastic buyers, particularly interested in gold jewellery, whether broken or intact, antique jewellery, gold and silver coins, collectibles including military medals, and banknotes, as well as mechanical watches.” said Mike Cornish, the
“Everyone has something we want to buy, and nothing is too small for our consideration. We are just as happy to buy one item, as we are buying 10,000!”
If you are in doubt about any items you wish to sell, take them in for an instant appraisal. No appointment is needed.
With the gold price still at higher than traditional levels, right now is an opportune time to explore your jewellery box and dig out those old gold chains, rings, and brooches, to turn them into cash “This is an ideal time to sell. We
will buy anything made of gold – old jewellery, coins, virtually anything, even gold teeth! We also need silver in any form, including coins, and bars of any size.” Mike said.
Check those drawers and cupboards, you may have a rarity lurking amongst your coins. “We want to see any old foreign coin accumulations. Bags, tins, boxes, folders, however they come, we will be quite happy to go through your coins on the spot and give you an idea of what we can pay. You just never know what can turn up!”
Mechanical watches are
needed urgently by the buyers. “Collectors at this stage want brands such as Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Longines, and Seiko, just to mention some. These brands can command good prices depending on the model and condition.” Mike explains. “If you are unsure, bring your watches in for an appraisal.”
Home visits are offered for those unable to make it to a venue, or those with too much to carry - just call Nate on 0426 820 646 to book your appointment. For more details, see www.heritageint.nz.
Giving back to your local community
RANGECARE is thrilled to be launching its first Annual Giving Day on Thursday June 26, 2025.
This is a campaign dedicated to celebrating the strength of our community and the power of giving back to our most vulnerable and isolated.
As a community-based not-for-profit since 1986, RangeCare relies on the generosity of locals to support individuals experiencing financial hardship and social isolation, and to ensure they
can continue delivering the full range of services that so many vulnerable community members rely on.
One of the most valued programs provided by RangeCare are its local Social Centres as they believe social connection is vital to a happy and fulfilling life. These vibrant hubs provide opportunities for people to stay active, build friendships, and remain connected to their community.
For many of RangeCare’s clients this is often their only social outing and includes
transport, entertainment, cooked nutritious meals and activities to improve their mental wellbeing through forming meaningful social connections.
This Giving Day, RangeCare is seeking support to help purchase an additional transport bus for their Social Centres. Access to safe and reliable transportation is one of the biggest barriers for many clients, and your donation will directly help RangeCare reach more community members who would otherwise be unable
to participate in these life changing programs. Get involved and help make a difference. Your donation, big or small, will directly support this initiative. Every donation brings RangeCare one step closer to providing more people with access to these life-enriching services. If you would like more information or to contribute to RangeCare’s Giving Day Campaign you can donate online at www.rangecare. com.au/donate or call 07 5445 7044.

Staying connected with companionship
While social circles may shrink, Mark & Sylvie’s are here

Care?
Companionship care goes beyond basic medical care. Our trained caregivers offer companionship and emotional support, creating a sense of connection and belonging. They are a friendly face who visits regularly. They can chat about anything
and everything, play your favourite board games, or simply listen with a kind ear. These conversations and shared activities do wonders for our mood and mental wellbeing.
But the benefits go beyond just feeling good. Loneliness can actually contribute to stress and
anxiety. Companionship care provides a calming and supportive presence, easing those burdens and promoting a sense of peace. Feeling down can also lead to less activity, but companionship care can change that! Your carer might take you for a walk in the park, join you for a
gentle exercise routine or even accompany you to a social event. These activities not only keep you physically active but also help you stay connected to your community.
More Than Just Caregivers, Companions: Our caregivers are carefully selected and trained, not just for their caregiving skills, but also for their compassion and ability to build genuine relationships. They can be a reliable friend, a source of support and a trusted confidant for you or your loved one.
Our commitment to fostering social connections extends beyond one-on-one care. We organise regular luncheons for our clients, providing a platform to build friendships and share experiences.
Contact us today to learn more about our companionship care services and how we can help you or your loved one stay connected and enjoy a richer, more fulfilling life.
