Volunteers urgently required who are available for 1 hour per week during Monday to Friday
Recently we put up a post and we received a great response and we've been successful in training about 26 people and matching them with older people in the community who need some company. Our volunteers enjoy being at the forefront of something great - by building a positive relationship with an older person you really change their life. It works for everyone involved. However, we still need some more volunteers needed:
- Tongan speaker available on Wednesdays for Mangere
- Spanish speaker in Botany Downs
- 3 volunteers for Botany Downs
- 4 volunteers for Waiuku
- 2 volunteers for Otahuhu
- 5 volunteers for Manurewa
- 8 volunteers for Mangere
- 5 volunteers for Papatoetoe
To find out more please email lisaw@accm.org.nz or text 021 279 2494 or call reception on 09 279 4331
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

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?
