Red Cross Annual Appeal 2020
Our annual street appeal is happening from 16-22 March 2020. It is our biggest fundraiser of the year. It not only helps us to continue the work we do but also raises awareness of the supportive services we provide.
Street collecting is a wonderful and fun way for you to be a part of something bigger. Meet and greet people in your community and encourage them to donate to a great cause. By donating your time, you’re making a real difference in people’s lives. It’s up to you when you want to volunteer - the time commitment is flexible, depending on your availability.
We are currently looking for volunteers that are available on Thursday 19th, Friday 20th and Saturday 21st March 2020. We are also looking for businesses and/or groups that may be able to take a site for a block of time.
Sign up today through the New Zealand Red Cross website by clicking the "Read More" button below this text and your local Red Cross Appeal Coordinator will be in touch.
Thank you for your support.
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)
.
