Blind Week 2019! Can you help?

Shelley Lima from

Blind Foundation is seeking volunteer coordinators for Blind Week street collections in multiple areas of Auckland:
Central Auckland, North Shore, South Auckland, West Auckland, and Rodney area.

Blind Week appeal is a nation-wide street collection on 18-19 October 2019 that raises money to help people who are blind or have low vision live a life without limits.

As a volunteer coordinator you'll be responsible for creating a roster of collectors in your area, and ensuring collectors have buckets, vests, and stickers on the days of the collection. You’ll also need to bank the money at your local BNZ once it’s been collected.

As a volunteer coordinator, you’ll need:

- To be available on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 October 2019
- 4-6 hours free in the weeks before the collection to organise your roster
- Your own transport
- Excellent organisational skills
- To be friendly and approachable

And the Blind Foundation will provide:

- Coordinator training
- Telephone and email support
- Amazing volunteers
- Required materials

If you’re available to help us make this the best Blind Week street collection yet, then please email us at blindweek@blindfoundation.org.nz or call us on 0800 120 254. We can’t wait to hear from you!

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)
.
