We have a new volunteer programme that we're very excited to share with you! In this role, you will offer social support to people claiming asylum in the Auckland region through:
• Providing local orientation and information about the area/city/country
• Assisting clients to connect with other services and agencies
• Spending time together and getting to know more about each other and your cultures
• Advocating for people to access their entitlements if needed

Requirements:
You’ll need to be familiar with your local area, open to working cross culturally, be resourceful and good at taking initiative.

Comprehensive training will be provided, including key concepts relating to asylum, intercultural communication, and entitlements.
Training takes approximately 12 hours and is delivered over several evenings and/or weekends.

Police vetting, reference check, and pre-training interview are required for this role.



Time commitment:
Volunteers need to commit at least a few hours a week, but there are no set time shifts. The time you spend with a family/individual will vary week to week, so you’ll need to be flexible and work as part of a team.
To apply for this role, you will need to commit to volunteer for a period of at least three months.

Even well-insulated homes can lose up to 45% of the room's heat without having adequate curtains. This is why Curtain Banks are in high demand at this time of year.

Even well-insulated homes can lose up to 45% of the room's heat without having adequate curtains. This is why Curtain Banks are in high demand at this time of year.

A petition is circulating to get curtains added as part of the Healthy Homes Standards in the hopes of helping renters avoid living in cold, damp conditions. Do you think curtains should be mandatory for New Zealand homes?

Is it still worth it getting solar?

Markus from Green Bay

The whole World seems to be rushing to solar power, and many states have generous subsidies or legally binding payback rates to encourage the uptake (eg in Germany Balcony Solar Power Stations have been a HUGE seller for months).

The whole World seems to be rushing to solar power, and many states have generous subsidies or legally binding payback rates to encourage the uptake (eg in Germany Balcony Solar Power Stations have been a HUGE seller for months).

Stuff just published another article tolling the virtue of solar to combat the climate crisis - see www.stuff.co.nz...

Now why is nobody reporting on the odd fact that New Zealand has made private solar power generation completely uneconomical with the new low fixed charge tariff regulations?

Currently we pay $80-120 per month for our electricity (of which $11 are fixed charges), mostly because we save energy any way we can. We were considering installing solar - but if we have to pay $60 in fixed charges anyway (plus the cost for electricity used on top) then what is the point?
