Right-Hand Man Needed for Outings & Activities

Ainsley Darvell from Flying Kites - Central

A sociable man in his 50s with a disability is looking for a reliable companion to join him on his daily outings. He enjoys a good chat, staying active, and being part of his local community in Glendene. His week is filled with art classes, walking groups, and coffee catch-ups—he's always up for a friendly conversation, especially if there’s a dog nearby!


We’re looking for someone who can be a steady presence, helping him stay on track with his activities while also enjoying them alongside him. If you’re patient, easy-going, and know how to strike the right balance between chatting and giving someone their space, this could be a great fit. No experience in disability support is needed—just a positive attitude and a willingness to be there. Bonus points if you enjoy cricket, dogs, and good conversation!

The Role:
📅 Monday, Wednesday & Friday, 12 – 5pm
🚶 No driver’s license required, but you should be comfortable keeping up with a casual walking group.

If this sounds like you, email jobs@flyingkites.org.nz

Flying Kites helps people with disabilities find amazing people to support them to live their lives and achieve their dreams. #FlyingkitesNZ

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
