Get Involved – June 1st to 30th 🤝
This month we’re rolling up our sleeves, putting up our hands, and saying ‘YES’ to giving our time and skills to projects that make Aotearoa a better place to live.
As a mostly volunteer led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!
Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (16-22 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

🩸 Giving Blood, Plasma and Platelets Saves Lives! 🩸
Just one blood, plasma or platelet donation can make a life-saving difference to the lives of many. Whether you’re a first-time donor or a regular, every donation counts! ❤️
New Zealand is currently short on donors, and to keep up with demand, is having to import blood products from overseas. So, if you can spare an hour (or slightly more) a few times a year, you’d be giving a priceless gift to those in need right here at home.
Let's support each other and those in need - you never know when a loved one may need it.
And remember our Emergency Cards and Tags have space to record your blood type, helping first responders act fast when it matters most!
Have you donated before? Interested to know more?
