Spare driveway or lawn?

Rachel from Lyall Bay

Posting on behalf of a friend!

Have a lonely driveway or melancholy patch of lawn in Wellington that's looking for company over the long winter nights?

Look no further! We're a Kiwi/Irish yopro couple who live in our van, Jean-Claude (a Ford Transit Jumbo). We're looking for somewhere flat in central Wellington to park him, and live in him primarily during the week - most weekends will be for adventuring.

We are fully self-contained, we will just need to borrow your hose from time to time to fill up our water tank. Aside from that, you will hardly even know we're there (unless you want to, in which case come over for a yarn and a cuppa!)

We're looking to pay you $100 per week, in cash or by bank deposit, and happy to keep the arrangement fairly flexible.

If this sounds like you, or someone you know then please reach out! Alicia 027 228 2144

Looking to find somewhere to 'move in' in the next 2-3 weeks :v:

Solve This Riddle or Be Left Scratching Your Head!

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

With pointed fangs, I sit and wait;
with piercing force, I crunch out fate.
I grab victims, proclaiming might,
and physically join with a single bite.
What am I?

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day

Olivia from Volunteer Wellington

We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.

It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.

Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.

Amazing catering provided by Blue Carrot
