Blind Week 2019! Can you help?
Blind Foundation is seeking volunteer coordinators for Blind Week street collections in multiple areas of Auckland:
Central Auckland, North Shore, South Auckland, West Auckland, and Rodney area.
Blind Week appeal is a nation-wide street collection on 18-19 October 2019 that raises money to help people who are blind or have low vision live a life without limits.
As a volunteer coordinator you'll be responsible for creating a roster of collectors in your area, and ensuring collectors have buckets, vests, and stickers on the days of the collection. You’ll also need to bank the money at your local BNZ once it’s been collected.
As a volunteer coordinator, you’ll need:
- To be available on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 October 2019
- 4-6 hours free in the weeks before the collection to organise your roster
- Your own transport
- Excellent organisational skills
- To be friendly and approachable
And the Blind Foundation will provide:
- Coordinator training
- Telephone and email support
- Amazing volunteers
- Required materials
If you’re available to help us make this the best Blind Week street collection yet, then please email us at blindweek@blindfoundation.org.nz or call us on 0800 120 254. We can’t wait to hear from you!
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.3% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
