Ask a friend or neighbour
📫 You can ask a friend or neighbour that you trust, to drop by and collect mail from your mailbox regularly while you are away, and give it to you when you return. Alternatively, you could find a house-sitter to live at your home while you are away, who can also bring in your mail and put it aside for when you return.
New Zealand Post hold service
📫 You can ask New Zealand Post (NZ Post) to hold your mail for up to 12 weeks. There is a small fee for this service, though if you are aged 65 years or over you can get this service for free for up to four weeks.
There is more about this issue in this article on our website.

*Lawnmower Collection for a Purpose! 🌿*
I'm collecting lawnmowers (dead or alive, petrol etc needed) to support my volunteer work in prison chaplaincy 2026
*About my volunteering:*
- I've been volunteering monthly, doing sessions once a month with men inside correctional facilities
- 2025 was a success, with many men changing their thinking, perspective, and life - impacting families positively.
- In 2026, I'm keen to volunteer TWICE a week! 😊
If you have a lawnmower you can donate, I'd be grateful to collect it.
Your support helps make a difference, one family at a time.
Thank you all for your support in 2025! 🙏 Looking forward to more life-changing journeys in 2026.
