Are you interested in getting involved in the community but not sure where to start??

Wendy Richards from Volunteering New Plymouth

Are you keen to meet new people and enjoy social activities and also give service to our community?

Marie met with Sue from Inner Wheel recently and gave Marie an insight into the current local group. Sue explained that they have a good number of members and that they are looking at starting another for younger women – This is an exciting opportunity to become a founding member of a new group that has a sister organisation to help guide you.

This is an easy way to make friends by doing things together – something Inner Wheel has been doing for almost 100 years.

Use your skills to play a purposeful role in your community.
Do something fun and meaningful with a group who share similar passions.
Experience all that inner Wheel has to offer.
They care about their Members and create lifelong friendships.
Now more than ever we need to connect.
By joining Inner Wheel, you become part of a women’s organisation with a long history of supporting each other and our communities.
There are 46 clubs in New Zealand and almost 4,000 clubs worldwide and representatives at the United Nations.
Key Message is: “Strong women Stronger world”

The key thoughts that I have taken from this meeting are this is a group of women who:
• Support and empower women and girls
• Meet new friends
• Support charities locally and worldwide
• Networking
• Attend conferences, events, and fundraisers
• Be part of a global women’s organisation

So, if one or more of these looks interesting to you and you are looking for something extra to do to support your community then how good would that be to offer your time and meet new people and give back!

So, if you are reading this and thinking - "I could do this!" then please register your interest by contacting Wendy at Volunteering New Plymouth on 06 758 8986, Ph/Text 022 571 4228 or E: admin@volunteeringnewplymouth.nz, she is waiting to hear from you.

Bowen Therapy, the gentle fascia release technique

Annemarie from Holistic Health Taranaki

“I feel straighter and taller… how is that possible?”
“I can lie flat on my back again without pain in my back.”
“Wow! I can walk better already!”
“This is AMAZING!”

These are the words of my clients, straight after their Bowen session. Pretty awesome eh…. 😊
I love offering Bowen Therapy, it’s the closest I have been able to get to miracles in my (nearly!) 3 decades of work in the complementary health field 💚
