Right-Hand Man Needed for Outings & Activities
A sociable man in his 50s with a disability is looking for a reliable companion to join him on his daily outings. He enjoys a good chat, staying active, and being part of his local community in Glendene. His week is filled with art classes, walking groups, and coffee catch-ups—he's always up for a friendly conversation, especially if there’s a dog nearby!
We’re looking for someone who can be a steady presence, helping him stay on track with his activities while also enjoying them alongside him. If you’re patient, easy-going, and know how to strike the right balance between chatting and giving someone their space, this could be a great fit. No experience in disability support is needed—just a positive attitude and a willingness to be there. Bonus points if you enjoy cricket, dogs, and good conversation!
The Role:
📅 Monday, Wednesday & Friday, 12 – 5pm
🚶 No driver’s license required, but you should be comfortable keeping up with a casual walking group.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
