Meals on Wheels volunteers needed in South Auckland
At New Zealand Red Cross we recruit and coordinate volunteers to deliver Meals on Wheels to people who are unable to cook for themselves. Every weekday all around the country, 250 volunteers are on the roads delivering hot, healthy lunches. Last year we distributed over 700,000 meals.
We are struggling to fill the rosters for volunteer drivers in South Auckland and need up to 70 more drivers. Could you spare just a couple of hours late morning once a week or fortnight? We provide training and support – and your fuel costs will be reimbursed.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer driver, you can apply apply online or call the contact centre on 0800 RED CROSS (0800 733 27677).

Please consider becoming a Meals on Wheels volunteer driver, especially if you can deliver to Māngere Bridge, Māngere, Māngere East, Favona, Papatoetoe, Otara, Manukau City Centre, Otahuhu and Mt Wellington.
Our friends at Life Education Counties Manukau in our area.
Recently we got to visit Harold and Lesley while they were stationed at Botany Downs School, and we got everyone to pose for this lovely photo of some of the young tamariki and Harold before a session.
Lesley and Harold have been there for three weeks and spoke to more than 550 students from Year 1 to 6. The topics covered in these sessions were different for different Years.
Year 1’s learnt about being good friends and self-regulating.
Year 2 and 3’s learnt about self-regulating emotions and being resilient.
Year 4’s learnt about being good friends and understanding different points of view.
Year 5 and 6’s learnt about how to fuel their bodies effectively.
Great work Botany Downs School and Life Education Counties Manukau!
Could the jury service process be improved?
Every year, thousands of New Zealanders are called up to serve as jurors in the High and District Courts, and it's an important way to contribute to your country.
But for some, jury service can be a huge disruption and a financial burden. Do you think changes could be made to our jury service system to address these challenges?
