Tō Mātou Tīma - Our Team
Outside of SociaLink I run a DIY kit-set deck business (readydecksystems.co.nz), and love the outdoors, especially snowboarding and mountain-biking (which I approach like someone much younger than I am!)
Ko wai au?
Ko Leanne tōku ingoa
Ko Rhodes-Robinson tōku whanau
E noho ana ahau ki Tauranga
Kei Tuhono Papori ahau e mahi ana, hei kaitautoko hononga
I trained & worked as a teacher of mathematics, economics and business and then ran an after-school educational business for many years. I’ve worked part-time for SociaLink since April 2024. I am loving contributing to the good of the Western BOP community by supporting those that work in the For-Purpose sector, and working with a great bunch of experienced, smart & dedicated colleagues.

What I Do at SociaLink:
- Business Heroes Directory
- A great online resource where For-Purpose organisations can access discounts & deals, to make their budget go further. Businesses can add a free listing to offer special rates or donations to the For-Purpose sector and gain new customers & exposure. A win-win!
- Mentoring Programme
- We match Mentors to Mentees to support current and emerging leaders, general managers, board chairs, committee presidents, and community, social, sports, kaupapa Māori and creative sector leaders in their professional growth. Contact us at the start of the year to register your interest as a Mentor or Mentee.
- E-Newsletters - we put out three, sometimes unavoidably very long!
- To our members in the social sector (fortnightly)
- To volunteers (monthly)
- To organisations involving volunteers (monthly)
- Email me to add your events, good news, stories and vacancies to our communications
- Websites for Volunteering Services & SociaLink
- Keeping these up-to-date with resources, news and information
