Daffodil Day is a crucial event for the Cancer Society, allowing us to provide essential services to New Zealanders living with cancer.
To help the Daffodil Month of August run smoothly, we need YOU as a volunteer area coordinator to support our wonderful volunteer collectors.
This role will need to commit a few hours per week in the lead up to Daffodil Day and includes training (via zoom sessions), for the role. The role includes putting out collection boxes, street appeal on Friday 26th August and for some areas Saturday 27th August. Where possible we suggest working with a team and helping to celebrate Daffodil Day with an event.
You will need:
current driver’s license
vehicle
computer
In the first instance and/or for more detailed information, please email your interest including your best contact number to Cheyenne Akehurst Volunteer Coordinator

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
