Thinking of volunteering?

The Team from Citizens Advice Christchurch Area

Then why not come and join us at Citizens Advice Bureau at our Hornby branch (based at the Hornby Community Centre).

Volunteering is an amazing way to give back to the community but also to give you, as a volunteer, a great sense of achievement. We only ask for about half a day a week.

We have training starting soon and then you will be assigned a Mentor, who will help you through those first weeks.

If you think this might be you and you want more information then email manager.cabchch@gmail.com, who can also arrange an observation session if you want to sit in with us to see what we do.

True Story

Melissa from Emergency Cards Limited

Trevor, who often travels around the South Island for work was on this day just recently, driving on a remote country road when he was in a serious car accident, rolling his vehicle four times.

Thankfully, help arrived, and Emergency Services rushed him to the nearest hospital.

Yet it was over two hours later until the hospital was able to find out who Trevor's wife was to contact her. More than three hours after his accident!

With Emergency Cards and Tags, first responders not only have instant access to any crucial medical details, but they also allow loved ones to be notified much faster.

Trevor and his wife now have Emergency Cards and Tags, for themselves, and for each other.
