Daffodil Day is a crucial event for the Cancer Society, allowing us to provide essential services to New Zealanders living with cancer.
To help the Daffodil Month of August run smoothly, we need YOU as a volunteer area coordinator to support our wonderful volunteer collectors.

This role will need to commit a few hours per week in the lead up to Daffodil Day and includes training (via zoom sessions), for the role. The role includes putting out collection boxes, street appeal on Friday 26th August and for some areas Saturday 27th August. Where possible we suggest working with a team and helping to celebrate Daffodil Day with an event.

You will need:

current driver’s license

vehicle

computer

In the first instance and/or for more detailed information, please email your interest including your best contact number to Cheyenne Akehurst Volunteer Coordinator

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
