Do a good thing at our Street Collections!
We need you! Collect donations as part of our annual appeal in March 2019 by inspiring and encouraging the public to give to Red Cross.
The Red Cross Hamilton Service Centre will be holding a street collection in March 2019 - and we need your help! It only takes an hour or two to make a big difference.
It's very rewarding for you to be able to get out into your community, meeting and greeting people, encouraging them to donate, knowing that you're doing good too by supporting a great cause.
The time commitment is flexible, depending on your availability. Easy to use Tap & Go terminals will be available in some areas to accept card donations; training will be provided to collectors.
Express your interest by signing up by clicking at the link below. You could also add a fundraising partner. It would be great if everyone could work in pairs, it makes the day go quicker, you have someone to talk to and you can share the items that you carry.
Please feel free to forward this information on to friends and families or your work place to encourage people to volunteer their time.
Thank you for your consideration.

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?

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
