Volunteer Work in the Community
Have you ever thought of doing some voluntary work?
Grief and Loss support services are looking to train local people as volunteer facilitators/companions for our Seasons for Growth grief and loss programme in local schools for young people who are dealing with significant life changes .
You would have had a personal experience of loss and grief, and be available during school time for approximately 2 hours per week over a school term.
These programmes are open to the community and are non-religious.
The initial training will be held over two days on weekend in September at no cost to you.
For further information contact Lesley on 022 0697384 or email griefandloss@allsaintshowick.org.nz

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
