Stop pulling my hairThe Karori Plunket committee consists of  parents like you. The majority of committee members are mothers with one or more children who volunteer their time to support the nurses and provide other services for you and your babies/children. We would welcome more parents (including some Dads) to our committee. If you are a new parent, or have recently moved to Karori, you may like to consider joining the Plunket committee, or just offer your time to help with the Annual Plunket Appeal, delivering Newsletters, or phoning parents to let them know about Plunket activities or fundraisers.

We meet at the Plunket Rooms on the third Wednesday of the month, starting at 7.30pm.  The meetings usually last for 2 hours, including a yummy supper provided by one of the members. It’s a great way to meet others, learn new skills, and is also a way of giving something back to your community. The great thing is you can give as much or as little of your time as you like or feel able. We always welcome new committee members to help share the tasks at hand. Even if you don't want a position that comes with a fancy title, we'd still love you to join us - there's always something you can help with.

The committee is involved in many activities including the following:

  • Fundraising (usually for the running and maintenance of the Plunket rooms and equipment)
  • Arranging PIN (Plunket in Neighbourhood) groups for new parents and parents new to Karori
  • Providing educational courses (e.g. Toddler Development Course)
  • Nursery furniture hire
  • Providing a newsletter and website
  • Working with Karori Plunket Creche

An orientation booklet for new volunteers is available from the committee.

If you would like to be involved with the Plunket committee we would really appreciate your help and friendship. Please let the Plunket nurse know if you are interested, email Karori.Plunket.mail@gmail.com or contact the current President shown below.
