Treasurers & Office Persons required
We have three community organisations that are looking for volunteers to fill the above positions. Each role is slightly different.
The main requirement for two of the organisations will require approx. 1 – 2 hours per week and this may be able to be reduced when the right person becomes familiar with the requirements, or it could be that one person could do the role for both organisations.
One of the tasks will be logging into the pay role and setting up the wages, as well, they will need to prepare a monthly report and if possible be available to attend the monthly meeting, have some knowledge of paying accounts and be able to use an Excel Spreadsheet.
Support from the current volunteer will be available for the new person
If you have started a course and are looking to gain work experience – this could be a great way to gain that.
If these voluntary positions sound like something that you would like more information about. and if you think you may like to check one or more of these opportunities out then please contact Wendy at Volunteering New Plymouth on Ph 06 758 8986, Mob/Text 022 571 4228 or email admin@volunteeringnewplymouth.nz to take that next step, and discuss with her your skills and the potential options, she is keen to hear from you.

Council Meeting for older adults & people with disabilities
The mayor and a slim majority of the newly elected NPDC councillors are keen to see the, “Age and Accessibility Working Party”, a long-standing Council committee, scrapped.
This is not to save the minimal cost of having such a committee. But simply put; it means these councillors believe that older adults and all those with disabilities in our community do not warrant being recognised, respected or treated as people whose voice is important, to them.
On Thursday 18 December (that is, this coming Thursday) at 10am, in the Council Debating Chamber, the full council will have an opportunity to vote, “to Re-establish an Age and accessibility Working Party”.
But we need your help to get it passed. We need you at the meeting to show your support for this committee. This committee is important for the voice of the older person or people who have accessibility or challenges in our community, to be heard.
We have many in examples of what happens when council fails to listen to people with disabilities, resulting in remedial work costing tens of thousands of dollars.
Let’s support those councillors who do support the reinstatement of this committee.
Please consider joining the myriad of organisations supporting older adults and those with disabilities.
If you cannot come to the Council chambers, email the Mayor and inform him what you think. His email is; max.brough@npdc.govt.org.nz.
I hope that we will see you there.
There is parking for just $1 per hour at the YMCA opposite the Council in Liardet Street.
