Volunteer Driver for Friday mornings needed.. And other volunteer opportunities.
One of our amazing volunteer drivers has sadly retired. So we're reaching out to our lovely community to see if anyone is keen to help us out 2 or 3 Friday mornings a month. You'd need to be wonderfully patient.. we are Age Concern after all.. be able to drive a manual Ford Transit van, pass a police check and have a great sense of humour.
The hours are pretty cool too, from around 9am to 12pm at the very latest. And if you were keen on helping out driving for some of our outings, then that's a bonus.
If you'd like to have a chat about this, either send a message via Neighbourly or email me on info@ageconcernhb.org.nz or call Carol on 8776488.
What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
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)

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
