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
What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
