ROLE OF THE WEEK: 'Youth Mentor'
Mentoring can have a powerful and positive influence on the lives of young people (aged 6 - 14) as they grow and transition into adulthood. Youth mentors under the Family Works program develop a one–to–one, non-judgmental, and supportive relationship with a young person in order to enhance their personal and social growth.

The Family Works program matches mentors with children between the ages of 6 to 14 and this pair then spend time together for an hour a week (or more). Activities can include (but are not limited to): going for a walk or a bike ride, gardening, helping with homework, practising sports, doing crafts, a trip to the cinema, exploring Marlborough, or baking

Youth Mentors are asked to commit for a minimum of one year so the child can experience consistency.

Full training and ongoing support is available.

What we're looking for:
- A personal interest in young people
- An ability to relate to and understand young people
- An ability to develop and maintain a positive relationship with a young person and their family
- An acceptance of differing cultural lifestyles and backgrounds.

Volunteers should be aged 16 or older.
A drivers' licence is not necessary but will be an advantage.

A Bloke’s Day Out

Why not treat yourself to a bloke’s day out for a grooming WOF? Just be wary of the barbershop – between the bay rum oil, hot towels, banter, and leather chairs, you won’t want to leave!

Why not treat yourself to a bloke’s day out for a grooming WOF? Just be wary of the barbershop – between the bay rum oil, hot towels, banter, and leather chairs, you won’t want to leave!

Bevis, a resident at Ryman’s Anthony Wilding Village, recently received a gentleman’s makeover. The day began at the barbershop where Bevis and his barber Kohl shared plenty of laughs. Next up, a personal stylist helped Bevis select clothes he looked and felt great in. Being pampered isn’t the norm for Bevis but based on his smile, we’re confident he loved every minute.

Hi team! Thank you so much for your support of First Rung, our first podcast!
The launch last week went even better than we'd hoped. I'm over the moon.
I thought I'd drop by to let you know this week's episode, Location, Location, Location, is out now.
Just like the first one, it's packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home. It also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
In episode 2, we talk to a first time buyer who moved from one end of the country to the other for a chance to get on the ladder, hear about apartments as a viable first home option and an expert gives us some tips on how to choose the right lawyer.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
Give episode 2 a listen and let us know what you think - and I hope you're all in to win that crackin' prize pack!
