Celebrating National Volunteer Week 2025!
🎉 It’s Te Wiki Tūao ā-Motu – National Volunteer Week 2025 when we honour the collective energies and mana of volunteers in Aotearoa. At Citizens Advice Bureau, we are incredibly fortunate to have over 2,000 volunteers serving in their local communities, delivering free information and advice to people, and doing this with care, skill and dedication. Using the current exchange rate, that’s a combined value of more than NZ$111,448 per hour! 😮
We invite you to celebrate with us this National Volunteer Week as we recognise those who share their time, talent and energy. Take time to say thank you and to give a shout out to the volunteers who make a difference in your community!

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

💡 A Little Brain Buzz for You⚡
I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new
