How will you be celebrating National Volunteer Week next month?

National Volunteer Week (17-23 of June 2018)
celebrates the 1.2 million Kiwis who are volunteering their time and skills to our communities every year.

The theme this year is Volunteers, The Heart of our Community – By many, the work will be completed, Mā tini, mā mano, ka rapa te whai.

We think this captures the essence of what volunteering is about. This is a time to acknowledge how volunteering efforts contribute to and enrich all communities within Aotearoa.

Would you give up your home for a life on the road? When Lynette and John Valk sold their three-bedroom home in Blenheim to live in a nine-metre motorhome and explore New Zealand, it was easier than they thought, and they don't regret a thing.

"We have seen so many hidden gems of New Zealand that we would never have seen if we were still living in a house," says Lynette.

Does the idea of selling up to make a big life change appeal to you? What changes would you like to make?

You need to click through to "rates valuation summary" to get the latest and that seems to work only from a laptop. Better, of course, to go to Trademe/property/insights, which has all information in one place.
