Mercy Hospice welcomes new Volunteer Coordinators

The Team from Mercy Hospice Auckland

Volunteers are the life blood of Mercy Hospice. We offer a variety of different volunteering opportunities and would love to hear from you if you can commit to our truly amazing organisation.

Your valuable volunteering time may be donated to a retail shop, patient companionship (inpatient unit or in the community), transport to appointments for patients, fundraising at special events, in-house functions, beauty (manicures, pedicures, hairdressing, facials) or helping with the tea and drinks trolleys for our inpatient unit.

You may choose from permanent volunteer placements, relief or casual volunteering. Assistance is especially needed over the holiday season and weekends. With nine retail shops around the Auckland central area, opening either six or seven days a week, we are always on the lookout for willing retail volunteers. Shifts are either morning or afternoon and we welcome volunteers to apply by contacting:

● Retail and Fundraising: Sue Campin 09-376-7574 or scampin@mh.org.nz
● Patient Care Services: Nix Johnson 09-376-7567 or njohnson@mh.org.nz

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
