We need you. Our Annual Appeal street collection is being held on the Friday 22 March & Saturday 23 March 2024. Can you give just two hours of your time for this year’s street collection? Join our Annual Street Appeal by becoming a street collector and make a difference for people and families here in Aotearoa New Zealand and around the world in their time of need.
We are looking for volunteers in various locations in Invercargill on Friday 22 March and on Saturday 23 March to support our Annual Street Collection. We will need two volunteers per site per shift. Two-hour shifts start between 8 am and 6 pm.

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.
