Event Volunteering Information Session
Have you always thought about volunteering but can’t dedicate a set number of hours to it every week? Are you looking for ways to volunteer at times that suit you, outside of regular business hours?
Nelson Tasman Hospice support & run a variety of different fundraising events throughout the year to raise crucial funds for our service. We are looking to build on our dedicated team of volunteers and establish a pool of casual volunteers with more of a focus on fundraising and event support.
Please join us at 5:30pm, Thursday the 1st of February 2024 at Nelson Tasman Hospice, 331 Suffolk Road, Stoke to learn more about all the varied and exciting roles we have available. If this sounds like something you might be interested in, we’d love to see you!
What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
Warnings about scams
This Fraud Awareness Week, we’re reminding everyone to stay sharp and look out for the warning signs of scams to stop them before they start.
Here’s what to watch out for:
🔍 Unrealistic offers or promises of easy money that are too good to be true
🔍 Pressure tactics: Scammers may rush or threaten you to act immediately.
🔍 Requests for personal info: Be cautious if you’re asked for bank details, passwords, or sensitive information.
🔍 Unusual payment methods like gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers.
🔍 Unverified contacts: Emails, calls, or messages from unknown or suspicious sources.
How to protect yourself:
✅ Stop and think before sharing personal details or making payments.
✅ Don't click on any links until you know that it is safe.
✅ Verify the source: Contact the organisation directly using official channels.
✅ If something’s not right, it's OK to hang up, walk away, ignore it and move on.
If you wish to report a scam, contact Police on 105 or report it online via 105.police.govt.nz/use-105.
