We provide healing tote and toiletry bags to the youth that attend there. 80% of the items are beautifully handmade by volunteers. All items in the bags have been selected by the medical professionals to ensure they aid healing. We also have zero paid staff.

Just wondering if there would be anyone needing a driver of a car or small class 2 truck on a temporary basis.

I am currently retired (53) and helped out a scaffolder doing a few hours here and there around Christchurch and enjoyed this.

Vehicle would need to be WOF/COF/RUC/REGO etc.
Automatic. (Might consider manual on inspection (if newer).
Pay negotiable.

Would suit someone that has lost licence.

I live in Mairehau.
Don’t want to be gone hours as I have 3 barky dogs!
