Volunteer Driver for Friday mornings needed.. And other volunteer opportunities.
One of our amazing volunteer drivers has sadly retired. So we're reaching out to our lovely community to see if anyone is keen to help us out 2 or 3 Friday mornings a month. You'd need to be wonderfully patient.. we are Age Concern after all.. be able to drive a manual Ford Transit van, pass a police check and have a great sense of humour.
The hours are pretty cool too, from around 9am to 12pm at the very latest. And if you were keen on helping out driving for some of our outings, then that's a bonus.
If you'd like to have a chat about this, either send a message via Neighbourly or email me on info@ageconcernhb.org.nz or call Carol on 8776488.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.3% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.7% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
