Giving to your community through retail volunteering

Hannah Cunningham from Volunteer Marlborough

Volunteering in a retail setting is excellent work experience, and not just if you're wanting to work in retail. Volunteering shows employers that you are reliable, dependable, and that you have a great work ethic - things that every employer is looking for! In addition, volunteering in a retail setting can boost your confidence, teach you new skills, and is an opportunity to make new friends!

We are currently recruiting for seven stores around Marlborough:
- Red Cross
- Trade Aid (Picton)
- SPCA Op Shop
- Blue Door
- Selmes Garden Centre
- The Salvation Army Blenheim Family Store
- Sheets 'n' Things

Interested? Send us a message, call 03-577-9388, or email vm@volunteermarlborough.org.nz

Can you crack Today’s neighbourhood conundrum?

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

Without a bridle or a saddle, across a thing, I ride a-straddle. And those I ride, by help of me, though almost blind, are made to see. What am I?
