Are you calm under pressure, an exceptional communicator, and eager to contribute to a cause that truly matters?
We’re looking for SPCA Street Appeal Coordinators to help organise our sites across your local region. SPCA Street Appeal is a crucial fundraising event that directly supports our mission to protect and care for animals across New Zealand. As an Area Coordinator, your role is vital in ensuring the success of this event. You’ll assist our Events Team by managing volunteers, overseeing rosters and collection sites for your specific areas during the Street Appeal on Friday, May 30th, Saturday, May 31st, and Sunday, June 1st.
Area Coordinators are responsible for:
• Oversight of the roster for Volunteer Collectors to ensure sites are covered for all 3 days. You will be provided with software to facilitate the rostering.
• Providing instruction and communicating with Volunteer Collectors in your area in the lead up to the appeal.
• Helping volunteer collectors be familiar with the non-cash donation options available (you will be provided with a full brief on these and systems to be used are incredibly user friendly).
• Being the first point of contact for Volunteer Collectors throughout the collection days.
• Setting up and visiting sites in your area to ensure everything is running smoothly throughout the two collection days.
• Banking the money collected in your area. We provide banking bags to make the process easy.
• Helping us promote the 2025 Street Appeal and encouraging your friends, family, colleagues and contacts to volunteer.
• Ensuring all event collateral is collected and returned after the event.
You must be available ALL of Fri 30th, Saturday 31 May & Sun 1st June from approx. 8am-6pm each day and have access to a vehicle.
You are required to attend one information session – this may be held in person or virtually (details TBA). Collection sites are provided but we really appreciate any suggestions for good areas to book.
We are more than happy to provide references afterwards.
This is an opportunity not to be missed to gain valuable experience in the not-for-profit sector and make a real difference in the lives of New Zealand’s animals.

Determined that my model collection and knowledge should benefit others, I established the Miniature Marvels gallery to raise funds to research neurological conditions like Parkinson's and Multiple Sclerosis, which afflicts my mother, and to promote scale modelling to all ages.
Miniature Marvels offers “The 1/72nd Scale Experience”:
• Free Admission by Appointment
• Over 440 crafted exhibits.
• Diverse periods & genres.
• Consistent scale of 6’=1” (1m=14mm).
• Enriched experience with:
- Digital engagement via smartphone & PC.
- Downloadable exhibit histories, build logs & images.
- Knowledgeable host & curator.
- New exhibits monthly.
The attached PDF provides several images and information about the gallery.
Admission is free, with donations to the Neurological Foundation of New Zealand encouraged.
Miniature Marvels opened on January 6, 2025, and has raised almsmot$1,100 to date (19-02-2025). Despite many challenges, I continue to craft models to an acceptable gallery display standard. You can read visitor feedback here:

Me being a graphic artist by trade, I went overboard and made this. Most of the timber is offcuts or leftover from years of not throwing anything out. The doors are from the old Napier Hospital. The two side ones open up on top like stable doors. At night lights come on in the windows (solar), which makes it look like a little house. However the back wall is the centre door.
We think his entry is very creative and impressive. Give this post a Like if you agree!
This wraps up our Backyard Awards - we hope you enjoyed taking part and seeing your neighbour's creations.
