Grab a hammer
The Cancer Society has planned their annual fundraiser, the Relay For Life, to take place in March, but they need helpers to put signs up around town promoting the event.
Ideally, we are looking for volunteers with your own transport (although this doesn't have to be a car) and some basic tools.
YOU CHOOSE between doing only neighbourhoods close to you, or covering a wider area.
You can get full info on all available roles and 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
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
