Do you have time to volunteer?

The Team from Citizens Advice Christchurch Area

We are so grateful that there are so many good Kiwis who are able to volunteer their time to help others.

Helping others makes us feel good ! One of the things that we, at Citizens Advice Bureau, hear from our volunteers is how good they feel after they have helped someone to find a solution to their issue.

If you have an issue that you want to talk about get in contact and our volunteers at CAB will do their best to help.

If you would like to find out more about volunteering at CAB give us a call or email manager.cabchch@gmail.com.

If you would like to volunteer but maybe CAB isn’t for you, there are volunteering opportunities everywhere. You can find details by looking at Volunteering Canterbury website, the local paper, SEEK, Do good jobs and social media.

Under 'Read More' is the link to Aged Concern Canterbury volunteers where they ask for just 1 hour a week to go and visit an elderly person who needs company.

Addictive Eaters Anonymous

The Team from Addictive Eaters Anonymous - Christchurch

Freed from my secret life

I came to my first meeting because my obsession with food was driving me crazy mentally, and because I was afraid I would not be able to stop putting on weight. I was embarrassed and angry about being there. I found the meetings very confronting and I only managed two, even though it had been suggested by a member to go to six. I stayed away for several months and then came back to stay, after more time of battling over and under eating and the obsession with food. I had already been in Alcoholics Anonymous eighteen months at that stage. After putting down alcohol and drugs, the food obsession became extreme.

After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
