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: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
