VOLUNTEER WITH US!!!
Help us support mental health through sustainability! We sell beautiful preloved furniture, fashion & homewares to raise much needed funds for mental health, with 50% of our profits going directly to The Mental Health Foundation of NZ.
As a social enterprise, we operate on a skeleton team of staff so our volunteers are very important to us. Volunteering with us isn't scary, we're an informal & supportive bunch who like to have a laugh. Our desire for good mental health & wellbeing for everyone is something we all have in common.
We need:
General help out in the store (assisting customers, tidying racks, putting clothes away, steaming etc)
Repair/restoration of furniture
Sewing (cushion covers, squabs, projects)
Crafty people (help creating crafty pieces we can sell in store)
Drivers (help picking up & delivering furniture)
If you can help, please get in touch now! You can email Louise directly at louise@thecollective.co.nz or call on 0274 998998.
Look forward to hearing from you! :)
