Accredited Visiting Service Hawkes Bay
AGE CONCERN NAPIER is looking to recruit volunteer visitors for their Accredited Home Visiting Service (AVS) throughout the Hawkes Bay region. This is a befriending service for people over the age of 65, and is aimed at reducing social isolation and loneliness amongst older people. Having a visitor can make a real difference to the health and happiness of an older person. Our visitors provide regular visits of about an hour per week, share interests and activities with clients, and bring a little sunshine into their lives.
If you would like to become part of our wonderful team of volunteers please contact us for further details. We would love to hear from you.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
58.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.8% ... It is complicated

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

Are you for, or against?

9.7% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.2% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.
