Blind Week 2019! Can you help?
Blind Foundation is seeking volunteer coordinators for Blind Week street collections in multiple areas of Auckland:
Central Auckland, North Shore, South Auckland, West Auckland, and Rodney area.
Blind Week appeal is a nation-wide street collection on 18-19 October 2019 that raises money to help people who are blind or have low vision live a life without limits.
As a volunteer coordinator you'll be responsible for creating a roster of collectors in your area, and ensuring collectors have buckets, vests, and stickers on the days of the collection. You’ll also need to bank the money at your local BNZ once it’s been collected.
As a volunteer coordinator, you’ll need:
- To be available on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 October 2019
- 4-6 hours free in the weeks before the collection to organise your roster
- Your own transport
- Excellent organisational skills
- To be friendly and approachable
And the Blind Foundation will provide:
- Coordinator training
- Telephone and email support
- Amazing volunteers
- Required materials
If you’re available to help us make this the best Blind Week street collection yet, then please email us at blindweek@blindfoundation.org.nz or call us on 0800 120 254. We can’t wait to hear from you!
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
