Your Community Health Shuttle
Can you help?
We need more volunteers from the South Waikato, especially helpful to have some more in Tokoroa.
You know what we do - take people to their health board appointments when they have no other way to get there. Our charter says we help those with community service cards - but wherever there's a need we try to help. We help with appointments in Hamilton, Cambridge, Matamata, Rotorua, Taupo, Te Kuiti, Thames, Monday to Saturday.
What do we do?
Everyone's a volunteer. No-one in our organisation is paid. We have a roster - we select a day we can keep aside for shuttle duty - at least one day each two weeks. Some of us drive - one of the cars or one of the vans - you can say if you're not confident with the van - and some of us are assistants for when we have a number of passengers.
We drive people to their appointments, help them find their way (or push the wheelchair..) and see they are comfortable. Sometimes we stay with particularly nervous clients.
We don't know how long we'll be away from home - maybe four hours, maybe up to eight, because the appointments may be at different times and be of different lengths. Our job is to get everyone back home - but sometimes this means another driver does a pickup.

We have had a fantastic response to our products and our service over the past six months .

Customers have been inundating us with positive feedback and as word is getting out about Firewood Factory and the level of product and service to match.

What we want to emphasise now is how important it is to buy wood off a reputable operator. We have so many clients who have purchased wood time and time again from a backyard operator and they always get let down, either with wet wood or wood that is filled with debris.

With our wood screening and drying shed we ensure the wood is top quality with the service to match, every time.

This month we’re rolling up our sleeves, putting up our hands, and saying ‘YES’ to giving our time and skills to projects that make Aotearoa a better place to live.

As a mostly volunteer-led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!

Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (20-26 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re getting involved this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:
