Governance volunteers matter
Last week was National Volunteer Week and we spend time celebrating the impact that volunteers have in our country at all levels and in all places! Thank you to everyone who gives their time to others, you are to be treasured, and your gift to us all is very precious.
Governance volunteers matter...
Check out the blog I wrote for Volunteering New Zealand, about all the governance volunteers working behind the scenes in community organisations. We need to celebrate them and their work dedicated to keeping services running and communities and families intact.
A personal thank you to all the board members and governance volunteers that I have worked with across the country.
Contact me if you are part of a community organisation looking for some support for your governance team. I have mentoring and coaching spaces available now. Happy to chat to see how this support could work for you.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
