Can you give 1 hour this Friday/Saturday

Hannah Cunningham from Volunteer Marlborough

ROLE OF THE WEEK:
An hour can make a world of difference! Blind & Low Vision NZ's (formerly the Blind Foundation) are running their annual fundraising appeal again soon.
Will you give an hour (or two) to hold a donation bucket and collect critical funds to help Kiwis who are blind, deafblind, or have low vision?

When: Friday 16 and Saturday 17 October.

Where: Blenheim central, Springlands, Redwooodtown, or Picton

You are very welcome to volunteer with a friend, family member, or colleague.

Volunteers of any age are welcome to apply but people under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult.

No skills or experience required; all we need from you is reliability and a smile.

Apply online by clicking the read more button below.
Alternatively, send us a message, call 03 577 9388, email vm@volunteermarlborough.org.nz, or book an appointment online via our main Facebook page.⁠
