We are currently organising our next Volunteer Interviewer Training and are looking for people who are interested in supporting others with accessing information, to ensure that they are aware of their rights and are better equipped to deal with their everyday life and challenges.
Citizens Advice Bureau will train you in the basics and provide ongoing training and support. Initial training involves 6 half day sessions, then being paired with a mentor to ensure you are supported along the journey to becoming an accredited bureau interviewer.
We are looking for long term volunteers who can commit to one or two, 3 hour shifts each week, between 9.30-3.30 weekdays.
We have a great team of volunteers with a wide range of skills and experience. Are you able to add your skills to our Bureau?

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
Find out more about the scheme online.
Anzac Day
There are opportunities across the motu for the public to come together to mark Anzac Day this year.
National Anzac Day events include the Dawn Service at 6.00am and the National Commemorative Service at 11.00am (both at Pukeahu National War Memorial Park, Wellington), and the Atatürk Memorial Service at 2.30pm in Strathmore, Wellington. The Dawn Service and National Commemorative Service will be broadcast live by TVNZ 1 and RNZ National.
For those wanting to join the Anzac Day parade at the Dawn Service, veterans are asked to assemble on Tasman Street by 5.30am.
The Atatürk Memorial Service in Strathmore will include a wreath-laying ceremony. A shuttle service will be running from Bowes Crescent carpark to the memorial site for anyone who may require assistance accessing the site.
For more information about Anzac Day, visit the Manatū Taonga Ministry for Culture and Heritage website or see the Pukeahu National War Memorial Park Facebook page.
