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 talk on the phone on a bus?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
