Homeless man is earning some dough
Brian “Sooty” Wallace has a lot to thank Rishi Sharma for.
Domino’s franchisee Sharma was headed to work when he spotted a man using a discarded pizza box to ask for spare change.
Wallace caught his eye as he was using the back of a discarded Domino’s pizza box to ask passers-by on Kings Crescent if they had any spare change.
Stopping to offer Wallace a coffee and a hot meal, Sharma learned he had lost his job due to Covid-19 and was homeless.
Now they work together after Sharma offered him a job.

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day
We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.
It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.
Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.
