Do you enjoy a cuppa and a chat? Volunteers Urgently Needed

Lisa Wall from Age Concern Counties Manukau Inc

Volunteers are urgently needed to visit older people for up to an hour, once a week. If you can make a good cuppa and enjoy having a chat with someone, then we need you. This is one of the simplest and most rewarding ways to make a difference in your community. What's in it for me you ask?

Well ........
• You’ll gain a sense of purpose and more confidence
• You’ll become part of an important community making a difference
• You’ll meet other volunteers
• You’ll learn new skills and receive training
• Most of all, you’ll connect with someone who needs you

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.
