Become a Big Buddy Volunteer Mentor in South Auckland!

Shane from Papakura

Hey everyone,

I’ve been volunteering at Big Buddy for more than 5 years. Big Buddy is a charity that matches good men with a bit of time to spare with boys ages 7-14 who don’t have a father or father figure in their lives. It’s truly been a rewarding experience I wouldn’t have swapped for anything.

In November 2022 I joined the team as the new mentoring manager for South and East Auckland. We have a ton of young boys on our waiting list, particularly in South Auckland, and I’m keen to spread the word as I know we have many amazing people in our communities. We really struggle for male volunteers in South Auckland, and I know for sure there are plenty out there!

If you think this may be something you could be interested in, please follow the link below or share with someone who you think would make a great Big Buddy!

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

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.
