Volunteers urgently required who are available for 1 hour per week during Monday to Friday

Lisa Wall from Age Concern Counties Manukau Inc

Recently we put up a post and we received a great response and we've been successful in training about 26 people and matching them with older people in the community who need some company. Our volunteers enjoy being at the forefront of something great - by building a positive relationship with an older person you really change their life. It works for everyone involved. However, we still need some more volunteers needed:
- Tongan speaker available on Wednesdays for Mangere
- Spanish speaker in Botany Downs
- 3 volunteers for Botany Downs
- 4 volunteers for Waiuku
- 2 volunteers for Otahuhu
- 5 volunteers for Manurewa
- 8 volunteers for Mangere
- 5 volunteers for Papatoetoe

To find out more please email lisaw@accm.org.nz or text 021 279 2494 or call reception on 09 279 4331

Aucklanders, our weekly rubbish collections are staying after councillors voted to scrap a proposed trial of fortnightly pick-ups.

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

Keen for the details? Read up about the scrapped collection trial here.
