Volunteer at CAB
If you would like to awhi (show support to) your community, Citizens Advice Bureau could be a great place for you to volunteer. CAB volunteers deliver our service of information, advice and support to individuals and whānau, helping them to find a way forward with the questions and issues for which they seek our help. As a CAB volunteer, you will have the chance to make a difference in people’s lives through your mahi aroha (voluntary work).
Working with us, you would get to be part of an organisation that not only empowers individuals and whānau, but that also empowers communities by advocating for fairer laws and policies based on what we learn from our clients.
So, if you love helping people and your wider community, volunteering with the CAB could be the place for you. As a CAB volunteer, you will receive great training, gain valuable learning and experience through helping clients, and get to work alongside our wonderful group of dedicated volunteers, making a positive impact together.
Hono mai! Come and be a part of the CAB where the community comes together in the spirit of awhi mai, awhi atu – the receiving and giving of support – and being empowered together.
Contact us at freephone 0800 367 222, drop in to see us at CAB New Plymouth (no appointment needed), or contact us via our CAB website at cab.org.nz.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
