Become a Companion Shopper

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

Are you looking for a volunteer position that will allow you to give back to your community?

The Manukau East Shopping Shuttle is seeking a Companion Shopper to accompany elderly passengers on alternate weeks to Pakuranga Plaza or Botany Town Centre.
Being a Companion Shopper is an opportunity to do more than a job, it’s a chance to do some real good for people, who no longer drive or don’t have family support to help them shop for grocery items.
A Companion Shopper with the Manukau East Shopping Shuttle will suit a one-of-a-kind individual with a history of community involvement and, most of all a big heart!

If you’re interested in becoming a Shopping Companion, please contact lindsay.upton@mecoss.org.nz

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
