Read about some of our outstanding volunteers:
"I have known Don Langridge for the last 5 years. Don picks up and drives our Barnardos Educators and children to and from our playgroups every alternate Friday. He always ensures their safety, taking extra care when they are getting in and out of the van. The children know him well and get excited when they see him. I know he is dedicated to our Barnardos KidStart Educators and children."

"I have been the Co-ordinator of the Karori Community Bus for 16 years and for most of that time I have been taking Barnardos Care-givers and their charges to and from St. Ninians Church Hall for play sessions on most Friday mornings. I have always enjoyed my contact with the Care-givers and the children they look after and the Barnardos staff members I have dealt with over the years"
