Are you retired / semi retired or just have some time on your hands and thinking of Volunteering?
Then why not come and join us at Citizens Advice Bureau at our Hornby branch (based at the Community Centre)
- Do you enjoy learning, have empathy and good listening skills?
- Can you research information from the internet and make sense of it?
- Do you want to use those skills to make a difference to the Community?
- Can you spare about half a day each week?
You will be provided with training and then assigned a Mentor who will help you through those first weeks. We don’t expect you to know everything about everything but have an amazing website of information for you to refer to (see under ‘Read More).
We have intakes of new volunteers twice a year so if you can’t join right now then we can include you next time.
If you think this might be you and you want more information then email manager.cabchch@gmail.com.
Addictive Eaters Anonymous
Freed from my secret life
I came to my first meeting because my obsession with food was driving me crazy mentally, and because I was afraid I would not be able to stop putting on weight. I was embarrassed and angry about being there. I found the meetings very confronting and I only managed two, even though it had been suggested by a member to go to six. I stayed away for several months and then came back to stay, after more time of battling over and under eating and the obsession with food. I had already been in Alcoholics Anonymous eighteen months at that stage. After putting down alcohol and drugs, the food obsession became extreme.
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
