Right now we really need more volunteers and want to hear from anyone interested in finding out more about volunteering at the CAB.
A LITTLE ABOUT WHAT WE VOLUNTEERS DO.
Clients contact the CAB with an enquiry about anything. We work with them by listening carefully, and researching their rights and responsibilities and the services available to them. We explain the information so that they understand their options and make their own decisions.
The feedback we get from CAB volunteers is that they learn something new every time they volunteer, and they find providing the CAB service rewarding and purposeful.
The duty roster is flexible, enabling volunteers to work around family and other commitments (most volunteers give about 4 hours/week). This can be helping clients on the phone, by email, or face to face.
Volunteers can also help with other aspects of running the bureau e.g. in publicity, training, social media or governance. There are lots of opportunities to contribute existing skills, and to develop new ones.
To make sure all volunteers are supported to be effective in their role, we provide a programme of learning and development. This includes an induction period and mentoring programme, as well as ongoing learning opportunities and peer support. A key area of learning, especially for new volunteers, is how to use the CAB website to research information for clients.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING INTERESTING AND WORTHWHILE TO DO, WE REALLY WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. SO GIVE US A CALL on 09 407 9829 & ASK FOR AN INFORMATION PACK.
OR COME IN AND HAVE A CHAT. Open 9.30 a.m. - 3.30 p.m. Monday to Thursay & Friday 9.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. You'll find us at 6 Cobham Road, Procter Library Building, Kerikeri (across the road from the Kerikeri Fire Station).
Fresh sweetcorn picked to order. Very juicy and tasty. Spray free
Phone Linda 021410529 to place an order and organise pickup. $1:00 a cob

It was during the live televised name reveal for Ryman Healthcare’s new Cambridge village on TVNZ’s Breakfast that presenter Matty McClean happened upon Doug.
The resulting hilarious sequence of dry, but complimentary-to-Ryman, one-liners left the audience calling for Doug to have his own show. One fan even touted him as the next PM!
What viewers didn’t know, however, was that behind the droll exterior, Doug was dealing with the loss of his beloved wife Jan.
