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.

Want to share your thoughts?

Let us know how you’re getting involved this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Morning everyone,

Waikato Times education reporter Aaron Leaman is looking to speak to families about the ongoing teachers' strikes.

Strike days are planned for the next five weeks and we're keen to speak to parents about the impact the strike action is having on their households. For example, are some parents looking to take days off work so they can be home with their children? Have some families called in the grandparents for help?

Email aaron.leaman@stuff.co.nz or call him on 027-480-5020 if you'd like to share your story.

It’s a bright orange bus that has now made getting to the hospital easier. Forget about having to battle for a carpark - just hop on the Comet and it will drop you right outside. With bus stops between the hospital and the Base being served every 15 minutes (between 6.30am-7pm weekdays and half hourly evenings and weekends) you can don’t have to wait long for the bus.

Last year alone, 427 serious injuries claims were made to ACC because of crashes and driving incidents over this long weekend.

Let's make sure we all arrive alive to where we need to go by following these four simple and proven road safety actions:

- Make sure everyone has their seatbelts on
- Remove distractions and stay focused on driving
- Don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking or are tired
- Drive at a safe speed for the conditions

With severe and changeable weather forecast for across the country the following winter driving tips are equally important as well.

The only way we can reduce unnecessary road deaths and injuries is by working together to be safe, considerate and alert on the roads. If you spot dangerous driving behaviour or urgent but not life threatening driving incidents you can report it to the New Zealand Police by calling *555 for free from any mobile device.

Have a great long weekend!
