Volunteer at the NZ House & Garden Tours Blenheim

The Team from Breast Cancer Foundation NZ - Blenheim

We are looking for volunteers to help for a day at the NZ House & Garden Tour in beautiful Blenheim on Friday 13th or Saturday 14th of March, in support of Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.

Volunteers will help with greeting the flow of people, car parking, security and the central hub.

As a thank-you for your time and assistance, you will be provided with a free ticket to the other tour day for the chance to see the exquisite homes and gardens. So, it’s such a great opportunity to check out eight beautiful homes around the Blenheim.

Interested? Phone us on 0508 105 105 or email volunteer@bcf.org.nz

What's your best cost-saving tip?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Just when we thought the cost of living couldn't climb any higher...it does. While things like fuel prices are out of our control, many of us are looking for small, practical ways to stretch our dollars a bit further. So let’s put our heads together!

Over the next little while, we’ll be sharing tips to help you save money — and we’d love to hear yours too. What’s working for you right now?

Here are a few ideas to get started:
🎉 Plan ahead for the year (birthdays, events, travel) to avoid surprise costs
🪙 Check out $2 shops for everyday items like stationery, baking paper, foil, and cling wrap - often much cheaper than the supermarket
🐖 Bring back the piggy bank and save your loose change
🔨 DIY where you can - like mowing the lawn instead of paying someone
💵 Set a daily budget before heading out and stick to it (cash can help!)
🧴 Stretch household products by diluting things like shampoo or dishwashing liquid

Got a tip that’s helping you save? Share it below, the tip might make a huge difference to someone else.
