Do you enjoy a cuppa and a chat? Volunteers Urgently Needed

Lisa Wall from Age Concern Counties Manukau Inc

Volunteers are urgently needed to visit older people for up to an hour, once a week. If you can make a good cuppa and enjoy having a chat with someone, then we need you. This is one of the simplest and most rewarding ways to make a difference in your community. What's in it for me you ask?

Well ........
• You’ll gain a sense of purpose and more confidence
• You’ll become part of an important community making a difference
• You’ll meet other volunteers
• You’ll learn new skills and receive training
• Most of all, you’ll connect with someone who needs you

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
