Help keep our welfare services open - Street Collectors Wanted
Do you have an hour or more to spare on Friday 28 June?
The Vinnies Street Appeal is back and we are looking for people to collect on Wellington's streets in support of the Vinnies welfare services.
As a self-funded organisation, this appeal is vital for the future of our services which include:
- A choice based food bank.
- A full-time social worker.
- Supported employment for people with intellectual disabilities.
- Access to free furniture, homeware and clothing.
- Clothing and bedding packs to new mum’s and their babies.
- Companionship to those in rest homes, hospitals and isolated residencies.
- An inclusive sustainable sewing studio providing meaningful activity for the community.
Interested in joining the team?

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.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
