Become a Red Cross Refugee Support Volunteer and make a difference!

Lesley from Hokowhitu

The New Zealand Red Cross is looking for volunteers to help support new former refugee families and individuals arriving and joining our Palmerston North community.

They hold regular training courses, face-to-face and online, throughout the year.

Next training is 16 & 17 September

For more information please contact:

Email: manawatu@redcross.org.nz

Telephone: 0800 733 27677

Website: www.redcross.org.nz...

Volunteers need to be available to attend the two days of the training to meet the requirements for becoming a Refugee Support Volunteer. If, however, they cannot attend both days then face-to-face or online catch-up sessions are available when volunteers can make up a session time. Please don’t let this stop anyone from signing up for training.

Thank you so much for your anticipated support. It is greatly appreciated.

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I dance in the sky with green and gold, a spectacle few are lucky to behold; I’m best seen in the south, a celestial sight—what am I, lighting up the New Zealand night?
