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: Have you ever been bullied?
People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.
This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.
Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
