Volunteers urgently required who are available for 1 hour per week during Monday to Friday
Recently we put up a post and we received a great response and we've been successful in training about 26 people and matching them with older people in the community who need some company. Our volunteers enjoy being at the forefront of something great - by building a positive relationship with an older person you really change their life. It works for everyone involved. However, we still need some more volunteers needed:
- Tongan speaker available on Wednesdays for Mangere
- Spanish speaker in Botany Downs
- 3 volunteers for Botany Downs
- 4 volunteers for Waiuku
- 2 volunteers for Otahuhu
- 5 volunteers for Manurewa
- 8 volunteers for Mangere
- 5 volunteers for Papatoetoe

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