Daffodil Day Volunteer Area Coordinator Role: Remuera/Meadowbank
Daffodil Day is a crucial event for the Cancer Society, providing us with financial support for our essential services to New Zealanders living with Cancer, and to ensure the day runs smoothly with over 2000 volunteers we need volunteer area coordinators to support all our wonderful collectors.
This role will need to commit a few hours per week (outside of their day role) for the weeks leading up to Daffodil Day including time required for training (via zoom sessions), and for the street appeal on Friday 26th August and for some areas Saturday 27th August.
A current driver's licence and a car/vehicle will be needed as you will be required to drive around on Daffodil Day to ensure our collectors have their high visibility vests, daffodils, eftpos machines, buckets and receive guidance for their roles. You will also be completing our banking, picking up and dropping off resources.
You will need to have either a laptop, home PC or device i.e. ipad or similar so you can access our software system, which is the platform for managing collector shifts and relevant information, so you will also be confident in adapting to software systems.
In the first instance and/or for more detailed information, please email your interest including your best contact number to Sudha Bhana Manager Volunteering sbhana@akcansoc.org.nz

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
