Whangarei residents can help raise much needed funds for local volunteer emergency services through Bunnings’ inaugural New Zealand Volunteer Fundraiser BBQ, held at stores across the country on Saturday 28 January 2017.

Residents are encouraged to support St John Ambulance Service by heading down to Bunnings Warehouse Whangarei, between 9am and 4pm, to buy a sausage or make a donation. Team members will be running sausage sizzles with support from local emergency services volunteers, with every cent raised going directly to support St John Whangarei.

St John Northern Region Fundraising and Marketing Manager, Hannah Davies, says, “We are so grateful to the team at Whangarei for supporting our work in the community. Our St John volunteers work tirelessly to help us save lives and change lives, and they couldn’t do it without the generosity and energy of local supporters like Bunnings.

“All funds raised for St John at the Volunteer Fundraiser BBQ will go directly back into helping the local community, and we encourage everyone to show their support by visiting Bunnings and enjoying the sausage sizzle.”

Bunnings Warehouse Whangarei Complex Manager, Alan McGregor, said the New Zealand Volunteer Fundraiser BBQ is a way for the community to show their appreciation for the great work done by local volunteer emergency services around the country.

“The team is really excited to get behind the barbecue to help raise vital funds for our local St John Ambulance Service,” said Alan.

Family activities, fun games and entertainment will also be held throughout the day.

Did anyone else get wind damage like this today?

Jay Boreham Reporter from Rodney Times

I didn't realize the wind was strong today.
But the cracking of the branch going and then loud bang as it came down soon let us know in Stanmore Bay.
No damage thankfully, apart from the poor tree. Hope no one else saw any damage.
