Volunteer - Retail assistant

The Team from NZ Red Cross Nelson

Want to lend a helping hand in your community? New Zealand Red Cross urgently needs volunteers to join the wonderful Red Cross Shop[s] in Nelson and Richmond.
There are more than 50 Red Cross shops nationwide, and they are a win-win for everyone. They let communities access affordable pre-loved goods, divert items from landfill, help volunteers gain work experience and training, and the funds from shop sales enable New Zealand Red Cross to continue doing vital humanitarian work.
Volunteer retail assistants help both their community and the environment as they help people find the right pre-loved item to take home. The role also involves restocking and merchandising the shop and helping unpack and sort donated goods. Training is provided, and you can even earn retail qualifications as you volunteer. If you have at least four hours of your time to contribute for a morning or afternoon shift each and a heart for making a difference, this is the volunteer role for you!

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?
