π We are now recruiting volunteers at Citizens Advice Bureau Nelson Tasman! π
If you are curious about volunteering with us, we would love to hear from you! Training includes supported learning and time alongside an experienced mentor.
βI was surprised by the professionalism of the training. I learned so much about our community, and the support from my mentor helped me find my feet.β
β CAB volunteer
As a CAB volunteer, no two days are the same. One moment you might be helping someone understand their rights after buying something, another you might simply be listening while someone works through a tricky situation. We do not tell people what to do β we help them understand their options and find what works best for them.
While our website is available anytime, many people really value talking with someone face to face. That is why our local offices matter so much.
π Our current opening times:
β’ Richmond (main office), 9a Cambridge Street: Monday to Thursday, 9am-4.30pm
β’ Nelson: Mondays and Fridays, 9am-4.30pm, sharing space with Age Concern, 18 Bridge Street
β’ Motueka: Thursdays, 9.30amβ1pm at the Motueka Library (reopening soon!)
To offer this free service to everyone in our community, we rely on well-trained volunteers.
To receive an information pack please contact us on:

Training begins in March π
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? π°οΈ
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.7% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.5% No, I enjoy it
-
1.7% Other - I'll share below
Don't overthink this riddle...
I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?
Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post if you know the answer and the big reveal will be posted in the comments at 2pm on the day!
