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: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The latest reporting from The Post suggests a wave of optimism for 2026. With interest rates finally heading south, businesses are feeling more positive. But for many on the ground, the real-world recovery feels a bit like a slow-moving commute on Auckland's motorways.

We want to know: Are you seeing signs of Auckland's economy improving in your industry or neighbourhood? Whether it's busier shops, new projects kicking off, or just a shift in the mood ...
