We have a new volunteer programme that we're very excited to share with you! In this role, you will offer social support to people claiming asylum in the Auckland region through:
• Providing local orientation and information about the area/city/country
• Assisting clients to connect with other services and agencies
• Spending time together and getting to know more about each other and your cultures
• Advocating for people to access their entitlements if needed

Requirements:
You’ll need to be familiar with your local area, open to working cross culturally, be resourceful and good at taking initiative.

Comprehensive training will be provided, including key concepts relating to asylum, intercultural communication, and entitlements.
Training takes approximately 12 hours and is delivered over several evenings and/or weekends.

Police vetting, reference check, and pre-training interview are required for this role.



Time commitment:
Volunteers need to commit at least a few hours a week, but there are no set time shifts. The time you spend with a family/individual will vary week to week, so you’ll need to be flexible and work as part of a team.
To apply for this role, you will need to commit to volunteer for a period of at least three months.

Poll: Should all homes have curtains?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Even well-insulated homes can lose up to 45% of the room's heat without having adequate curtains. This is why Curtain Banks are in high demand at this time of year.

Even well-insulated homes can lose up to 45% of the room's heat without having adequate curtains. This is why Curtain Banks are in high demand at this time of year.

A petition is circulating to get curtains added as part of the Healthy Homes Standards in the hopes of helping renters avoid living in cold, damp conditions. Do you think curtains should be mandatory for New Zealand homes?

The law will see weekly child support payments collected by Inland Revenue passed on directly to eligible sole parents from July 1.
Currently child support payments are collected and used to offset the cost of the benefit paid to parents on the sole parent rate.
Parents will also no longer be required to apply for child support to receive their benefits.
"This change is estimated to lift as many as 14,000 children out of poverty," Social Development and Employment Minister Carmel Sepuloni said. "The first payments will be passed on to parents from August 22, 2023.
"We firmly believe that money intended for children should not be withheld by the Government, and go towards their well-being."
Revenue Minister David Parker added that the move will see sole parents "treated the same" as other beneficiaries.
"If parents know that the child support they pay will get to their own children, it will also encourage more parents to pay," he said.
