Volunteer for Citizens Advice Bureau Te Awamutu.

Jessica Brown from Citizens Advice Bureau Te Awamutu

Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini - My strength is not the strength of one, it is the strength of many

Want to make a difference to peoples’ lives? Volunteer for Citizens Advice Bureau Te Awamutu.

Our volunteers help people from all walks of life. You will find the work is interesting, stimulating and fun. We work with clients by listening carefully, thoroughly researching the options available to them and by explaining the information in a way that they can use it. We also help people access information and services online or make complaints when needed.

Volunteers are the life-blood of the CAB. Most give about 4 hours every week to answer phone calls or emails from our clients, or to help them face-to-face when they come into the CAB. On top of this ‘rostered duty’, every volunteer participates in ongoing learning and development to ensure their skills and knowledge remains current and contributes to running the CAB.

We provide all our volunteers with the training, tools and ongoing support necessary to provide our service.

Contact the CAB on 07 871 4111 or pop in and see us in the Ray White Arcade, 2/213 Alexandra Street, Te Awamutu for more information.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.
