SociaLink’s annual volunteering day was a reminder of how group volunteering gives teams the chance to step away from their usual routines and make a practical contribution to their local hapori. This year we headed to Ngāpeke Permaculture, based on Ngāti Pūkenga whenua in Welcome Bay, Tauranga.

And because politics is also about the people behind the policies, we added a couple of quick-fire questions.
