Seeking Superstar Volunteers

Jayne Mulligan from Christchurch City Mission

We are on the hunt for some superstar volunteers to help us out in our Foodbank.

The shifts are from 8.30 to 12.30, and we'd love you to join us for at least one morning each week. The shift involves unpacking food donations, driving a van to pick up food, storing and sorting food in the Foodbank as well as packing food parcels.

The Foodbank is a fast paced environment where you will get to meet other dedicated volunteers, and be part of a team that is helping real people in real need.

If you or someone you know is interested then please get in touch! email businesssupport@citymission.org.nz or call us on (03) 365 0635.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
