Claire Solomon
Yes, volunteering IS glamorous !!
Conservation work on Motutapu Island gives Claire a sense of achievement - and a sanctuary to escape to.
Claire has been volunteering with us since November 2008. Next Magazine recently ran an article about her activities with us on the island as part of their 'Living Simply' series. We are delighted that Next are happy for us to use some of their material for our 'Volunteer of the Month' series.

Glenys and Val
These girls are two of our very favourite nursery regulars !! Glenys and Val also take a keen interest in heritage aspects of the island (they just love that old stone staircase that was rediscovered cut into the sea wall at Home Bay. They take every opportunity to walk up and down it ...when they're not in the nursery, that is.)
