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.

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?

After attending an Open Day at Strathallan, the family were confident they’d found a solution, enrolling their son to start at the school. “I believe ACG Strathallan is really hitting its straps now. The Principal is working hard to build the sporting aspect of the school, and the facilities are fantastic. Some of these other schools are huge, and I think that is a real advantage of Strathallan – it’s smaller and not so overwhelming for a child. They’re not going to get lost here.”
We warmly invite you to visit us at our open day between 9am - 11am on Tuesday, 25 June.
Until our Eye on Nature Wearable Arts Fashion Show!

So far we have distributed 376 pairs of pyjamas to the lowest-decile schools in our area. These are given to students who their schools have identified to be most at risk of the winter illnesses. We are not there yet.
The major shortages are for girls' sizes 6, 8 and 10 and boys' sizes 10, 12 and small men's. The nights are getting colder and we are hoping to get these out soon.
