Volunteers Needed.

Sarah from Carterton District

Digital Seniors is looking for volunteers to help seniors with their digital devices.

You don’t have to be a tech wizard; we are looking for people with a working knowledge of how the average phone or tablet works (and can explain it to others). Above all, we’re looking for someone kind, patient, and who wants to really make a difference in the life of a senior.

Volunteering with us is very rewarding and is a fantastic way to meet and get to know some of the amazing seniors in our community as well as joining a very special team of volunteers.

We’d need you for a few hours a week – we need volunteers to help in the following locations.
Masterton (at the Library) – Wednesdays from 10 am – 12 pm
A Masterton Rest Home– Fridays from 10:30 am – 12 pm
A Carterton Rest Home – Monday’s from 10 am – 12 pm

If you would like more information please call 0800 373 646 or email sarah.wright@digitalseniors.co.nz

A gaggle of Digital Seniors coaches. Help seniors and join our fabulous team!

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
