We often think of volunteering in a very formal way, including only the types of volunteering that involve signing up with a charitable organisation. However, when the definition of volunteering is expanded to include informal volunteering as well, and including short-term and one-off volunteering, rates of participation are significantly higher!
According to @volunteeringnz, of those aged 15 years or older, 49.8% have engaged in some sort of formal and/or informal volunteer work in the last month!
If you'd like to join in and boost this statistic even more, go to our website, call 03 577 9388, or email vm@volunteermarlborough.org.nz

Ross’ retirement saw the beginning of his musical journey where his passion quickly evolved from making music, to crafting guitars. It all started when Ross and some mates joined a music group where the camaraderie and togetherness were just as important as the music.
Living in a Ryman village, Ross can continue living life to the full in his retirement because they are places where you don’t retire from life, you find a new way to live .

Ask your doctor, parent or caregiver if you had two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine as a child.
If you don’t know, it’s best to get immunised. It’s safe to have an extra dose of the MMR vaccine.
Some other countries only immunise against measles and rubella. So, even if you were immunised against measles overseas, make sure you get your free MMR in New Zealand so that you’re protected from mumps too.
