Volunteers needed – help make the Wānaka House & Garden Tour a success
People are being sought to volunteer in some of Wānaka’s most stunning homes, while making a difference for breast cancer.
With just one month to go, Breast Cancer Foundation NZ is seeking more volunteers for the NZ House & Garden Tours in Wānaka on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 February. The tours offer an exclusive look inside the beautifully curated homes and gardens featured in NZ House & Garden magazine.
Each year, more than $100,000 is donated to Breast Cancer Foundation NZ as the charity partner of the event since 2014. At a time when fundraising is particularly challenging for many charities, this event is a major and essential fundraiser for the Foundation.
“The money raised through the NZ House & Garden Tours directly supports our life-saving work in research, education and patient support. They’re a much-loved fixture in our year, and a wonderful way for people to experience some exceptional homes while supporting a cause that touches so many Kiwis’ lives,” says Ah-Leen Rayner, chief executive of Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.
“Volunteers are instrumental to the success of the tours – we simply can’t run them without you. So we’re encouraging anyone who’s able to lend a hand to sign up and be part of something truly meaningful,” Ah-Leen adds.
Volunteers are required for morning, afternoon or full-day shifts to help to make sure the houses are looked after and the tour-goers are kept safe. In return, they’ll receive a small gift in recognition of the generous donation of their time.
