Do you have time to volunteer?

The Team from Citizens Advice Christchurch Area

We are so grateful that there are so many good Kiwis who are able to volunteer their time to help others.

Helping others makes us feel good ! One of the things that we, at Citizens Advice Bureau, hear from our volunteers is how good they feel after they have helped someone to find a solution to their issue.

If you have an issue that you want to talk about get in contact and our volunteers at CAB will do their best to help.

If you would like to find out more about volunteering at CAB give us a call or email manager.cabchch@gmail.com.

If you would like to volunteer but maybe CAB isn’t for you, there are volunteering opportunities everywhere. You can find details by looking at Volunteering Canterbury website, the local paper, SEEK, Do good jobs and social media.

Under 'Read More' is the link to Aged Concern Canterbury volunteers where they ask for just 1 hour a week to go and visit an elderly person who needs company.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

Poll: Have we lost our "Clean & Green" edge? 🌏

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press just released an article on the proposed plan to pump sewage into the sea, and it’s got us thinking. We’ve always been proud of our environment, but is the "Clean and Green" reputation still earned?

What’s your take? Are we doing enough to look after our backyard? Is it time for a new slogan? 💬
