There is only one week to go until the Blenheim House & Garden Tours. We are still desperately in need of more wonderful volunteers to help out, in support of Breast Cancer Foundation NZ! The tours take place on Friday the 13th and Saturday the 14th of March.

To say thank you (heaps) for volunteering for the day, you can check out the amazing houses with a free ticket to the other tour day. So, it’s a fantastic opportunity to check out eight beautiful homes around Blenheim.

We would really appreciate it if you shared the opportunity with family and friends!

Our Coordinator at Hastings District Council recently sent us this snap from a get together with residents from a new suburb who are keen to get Neighbourhood Support up and running.

To gauge interest, he hosted a free barbecue at a park with the support of their local New Zealand Police to bring neighbours together to discuss setting it up. Every group is different in how it chooses to operate. Our policy is whatever works best for your area!

Interested? Call 03-577-9388, email vm@volunteermarlborough.org.nz, or apply online at marl.volunteermatch.org.nz...

More info:
We’re currently looking for volunteers to help with the tours. Volunteers will be stationed at each of the houses (from 8:30am - 4pm) helping with security, car parking, and managing the flow of people visiting.
The tour gives people the opportunity to view 8 beautiful, handpicked homes and gardens.
As a thank you for your time and assistance, you’ll be provided with a copy of the latest NZ House & Garden magazine, and a ticket to visit the rest of the houses on the tour. Volunteers will receive a free full day ticket (on the other day of the tour in Blenheim).
Volunteers must be over 18 years of age.
As the charity partner of the event, the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ receives $220,000 in cash and free advertising, this goes a long way to help Kiwis affected by breast cancer.

We want March to be all about celebrating the connections we have while making new ones along the way. As we all know, what makes a neighbourhood great isn’t the houses and cars, gardens and streets - it’s the people who share their presence and aroha with each other.

A wonderful way to take part is to participate in Neighbours Day Aotearoa which takes place from 27 March - 5 April. This year’s theme is ‘Small Things Make a Big Difference’ - we couldn’t agree more!

Let us know how you’re celebrating by email or tag us online and include the following hashtag:
