Community service is unpaid work that helps a community. It can be done by individuals or groups and can take many forms.
Friday saw our group in the community working very hard to help another couple clear some of the damage caused by Cyclone Gabriel just over two years ago. The property owners were lucky not to suffer damage to their home or other buildings. However, their livelihood was destroyed. Our team helped clear silt and create a pile of tree debris ready for chipping.
Well done everyone, that was hard work 👍 Thanks Martha and the hawkesbaycleanup team for having us. … See MoreSee Less

We are pleased to welcome Kazz Parker to the team. Not only is Kazz a qualified builder but he is also a qualified chef! Outside of work Kazz loves to go camping, diving, and anything that involves the sea really.
What’s quirky about Kazz? He likes to mow his lawn in tidy lines ☺️ Kazz also have a great sense of humour and likes to see who else does as well.
We’re excited to have Kazz on board and look forward to seeing the help and encouragement he will provide our participants. And we’re especially looking forward to the amazing food he’s going to cook 😉 … See MoreSee Less
