It is National Volunteer week
A big thank you to all the volunteers out there. Volunteering helps support our community in so many ways. At Citizens Advice Bureau we are so thankful for our wonderful volunteers, without whom we could not function.
Did you know there are 108 volunteers in the CAB Christchurch area and only 1 paid staff member. Our volunteers are a diverse bunch, with different backgrounds, ethnicities and languages but they all come together to help the community. Working from 3 branches around Christchurch from Monday to Friday, plus at the Loft at Eastgate on a Tuesday, so we can be near you to help.
If you would like to find out more about volunteering at CAB give us a call or email manager.cabchch@gmail.com.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
