Red Cross seeking new volunteers

Hilary Johnson —

Following a busy time during Covid-19 lockdown, Red Cross is actively seeking new volunteer Community Relief Team members from Waihi Beach, Katikati and Omokoroa.

While there are no age restrictions, volunteers between 20 and 50 years of age are likely to be better able to handle the work of the team.

The attached sheet explains the various volunteer groups that Red Cross supports in Katikati. The CRT area of operations is generally between Omokoroa and Waihi Beach. CRT training is normally for two hours, once per month on Wednesday evenings.

Red Cross provides team uniforms plus training in emergency Welfare Centre operations, radio communications, comprehensive and psychological first aid for all team members.
