What do we do?

Hannah Cunningham from Volunteer Marlborough

Many people know that Volunteer Marlborough recruits volunteers, but you may not know what else we do. Basically, we support volunteers and volunteer-involving organisations, groups, and projects around Marlborough. This means we run training workshops, organise a community awards function, provide mentoring, promote volunteer opportunities, share resources, provide networking opportunities, and advocate for the inclusion of all volunteers.

For more information, visit our website (www.volunteermarlborough.org.nz...) or get in contact with a member of our team: message us via social media, call/txt 021478330, or email vm@volunteermarlborough.org.nz⁠

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Dehorners

Ron from Fairhall - Renwick - Woodbourne

SharpAs Tool Tips

Pictured is a set of dehorners brought in for sharpening. Like all cutting tools, a sharp edge is essential for them to work efficiently and cleanly.

Good to see that pain relief is now part of the process as well.

If you have tools, knives, kitchen utensils, or other items that need sharpening or repair, come and see me:
🔹 Redwood Market – Saturdays
🔹 Marlborough Farmers’ Market – Sundays
Or contact me directly on 027 444 5535.

Cheers,
Ron
