On 23 March 2017 we are commencing Induction Training for potential Volunteer Interviewers. Interested? Please read:

Volunteer Interviewer - Citizens Advice Bureau Christchurch Area

Short Description
Telephone and Face to Face Interviewer to provide free and confidential advice to everyone. Take the time to listen and equip clients with the information, options and support that fit their needs.

Detailed Description
It's all about the client - Our Volunteer Interviewers say: "I feel good about helping others", "I make a difference", "I learn things myself too".

It takes a team of trained Volunteers who give at least 3 hours a week of their skills, time and knowledge. We offer clients information to enable them to make informed decisions on anything from consumer rights, work conditions, neighbour disputes to relationship issues. There’s certainly never a dull moment .

Full training and support provided.

Heading along to tonight's Night Noodle Markets? Help the planet while you're at it – Christchurch is trialling compostable packaging for the food and drink available at the Night Noodle Markets this year – which means a lot less waste for the landfill.

If it's brown - it will break down.
Look for the ECO symbol and put it in the green bin.
All other packaging goes into the red bin.

The ECO symbol means "Event Compostable Only" – make sure you bin it at the event, and not at home.

Protect your child against most HPV cancers

Ministry of Health

From 2017, HPV immunisation will be free for everyone aged 9 to 26. That means boys can also be protected against some types of cancer.

From 2017, HPV immunisation will be free for everyone aged 9 to 26. That means boys can also be protected against some types of cancer.

HPV-related cancers take a long time to develop, the viruses are mostly transmitted by teenagers and young adults but often aren’t diagnosed until later. That’s why it’s important for children to be immunised when they are young. Around 80% of people will be exposed to HPV at some point in their life. Protecting children before they are exposed to HPV will protect their health in the future.

For more information about HPV immunisation, see www.health.govt.nz/hpv
