We are currently organising our next Volunteer Interviewer Training and are looking for people who are interested in supporting others with accessing information, to ensure that they are aware of their rights and are better equipped to deal with their everyday life and challenges.
Citizens Advice Bureau will train you in the basics and provide ongoing training and support. Initial training involves 6 half day sessions, then being paired with a mentor to ensure you are supported along the journey to becoming an accredited bureau interviewer.
We are looking for long term volunteers who can commit to one or two, 3 hour shifts each week, between 9.30-3.30 weekdays.
We have a great team of volunteers with a wide range of skills and experience. Are you able to add your skills to our Bureau?
We would be very interested in speaking with you!

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?

Art and Craft Market at Kai Tahi - 10 till 3 EVERY SUNDAY!
Hi neighbours
The new Porirua Community Art and Craft market at Kai Tahi in Porirua is now running EVERY Sunday. It's all indoors, and there's over 30 stalls each week.
Opens at 10am and closes 3pm, so you can also grab lunch at the many international food court options. Bring the kids, and your dog on a lead is welcome too!
Parking at the back (on harbour edge) is free - just stay clear of the Staff Only parks.
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.
