Become a Big Buddy Volunteer Mentor in South Auckland!
Hey everyone,
I’ve been volunteering at Big Buddy for more than 5 years. Big Buddy is a charity that matches good men with a bit of time to spare with boys ages 7-14 who don’t have a father or father figure in their lives. It’s truly been a rewarding experience I wouldn’t have swapped for anything.
In November 2022 I joined the team as the new mentoring manager for South and East Auckland. We have a ton of young boys on our waiting list, particularly in South Auckland, and I’m keen to spread the word as I know we have many amazing people in our communities. We really struggle for male volunteers in South Auckland, and I know for sure there are plenty out there!
If you think this may be something you could be interested in, please follow the link below or share with someone who you think would make a great Big Buddy!

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?
Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.
For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.
Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
36.1% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
63.2% No, I enjoy it
-
0.6% Other - I'll share below
