🗣 Calling all volunteers!

Cathy McIntosh from Ōrākei Local Board

Orakei Local Board is celebrating all of the wonderful volunteers who give their time in so many ways, to make our communities beautiful, safe, friendly, fed, loved and a better place to live.
While the board know plenty of local volunteers, there are still many that they don't know and so are asking YOU to tell them who else is out there. If you know someone who gives their time for our communities let the team know by emailing the details through to: orakeievents@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz
