Buddies are volunteers that spend time with people with a disability in order to support them to gain access to and positive experiences in the community. For example going to the gym, having a coffee, visiting the museum or even doing some volunteering together! Volunteers are matched with people based on similar interests and location. You can commit to anything from a couple of hours a month to a few hours a week.
Avalon is a charitable trust that provides services in the Bay of Plenty to support individuals with a recognised disability. A key component of Avalon’s work is to reduce barriers to inclusion in community for the people we support.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
