Volunteers needed for Refugee Driver Training
"I can't forget last year's lockdown. It was hard to find someone to take me to buy food and supplies." - message from a single mother who got restricted licence through the Open Road Refugee Driver Training Programme
A big THANK YOU again to all our volunteer mentors who made a huge difference helping our learners to be test ready. It means a lot for them to gain independence and stay mobile for essential trips through lockdown and beyond.
We welcome new volunteer driver mentors as we gear to safely resume driving sessions for our refugee whānau at level 2. Check out resources drive.govt.nz... and know more about being a mentor here www.openroad.org.nz...

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
