National Volunteer Week

Jyn from Volunteer Marlborough

It's National Volunteer Week! This week, VM joins 16 other volunteer centres and Volunteering NZ in honouring the collective energies and mana of all our volunteers in Aotearoa. It’s also time to shine a light on the impact of volunteering – which contributes an estimated $4 billion to the New Zealand economy – yet it is under-resourced and under-valued.

This year, the theme for Te Wiki Tūao ā-Motu (National Volunteer Week) is ‘Time to Shine / He wā pīataata.’ so let’s thank volunteers for the difference they make to the Marlborough community!

Poll: Would you rather: Christmas in summer forever or winter forever?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.

If you had to live out your Christmas days, would you prefer it was a summer Christmas or a winter Christmas?

We're talking new year resolutions...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.

What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?

Looking for Aroha

Andrea from Richmond

Good Morning and blessings for a New Year. An elderly 80 year old friend has had a major change in circumstances, he has faced this with humility. I would love to surprise him and create a beautiful small space in his garden for him to relax and feel the Aroha. Any kindly people who have anything they would like to add, I would be very happy to pick up, that would create a lovely space and I will post a pic when its done (Hopefully the weekend). He has two small old chairs currently, I would love to a add small outdoor table, plants and pots, he would have the love to give to plants that need TLC too. Thank you for reading.
