Not sure how you can help?
Kāore koe i te mōhio me pēhea te āwhina?   

We are always keen to recruit new supporters. There are so many ways that you can help us out, one of them is sure to suit you. Here are some of the ways that YOU can get involved:
Volunteering a Skill:
  • Administration
  • ​Cleaning/Housekeeping
  • Helping out at events​ 
  • Cooking/Baking
  • Gardening
  • Fundraising
  • Driving
  • Organising Events
  • A professional service (like construction or plumbing)
Note: The frequency of your volunteering a skill depends on the category, demand for this service, and your personal availability. 
Working With Guests:
  • Companionship
  • "Outreach" Support Work
  • Supporting Guests
  • Offering a Clinical Skill
  • Counselling
  • Visiting People
Note: Volunteers that work with Guests are constantly dealing with vulnerable people who are going through difficult times. People that help out in this field do not need clinical experience, however they must have excellent listening skills and have filled out a Police Check form in order to determine whether or not it is appropriate they work with Guests.
Our five minute "whiteboard" video helps to explain what we're here for, and how you can help by partnering with us.

We'd love to keep you in the loop.
Kei te hiahia mātou ki te whakamōhio haere i a koe.
Is this mahi your passion? We believe we're all in this together. Every month we send a brief news update to our  extended whānau. It is a genuine encouragement to us all involved in this, to know that you are there. If you'd like to stay in touch - click the "Newsletter" button below. 
Goes without saying - but naturally we won't pass on your details to anyone else - EVER.... and of course, you can unsubscribe any time.

Thank you; kia ora rā.
