Day 81 - DUNZ - Volunteers needed for Invercargill Public Meeting 30 June

Volunteers are needed for Invercargill Public Meeting on 30 June.

DUNZ Invercargill: 7/6/2024

We have organised a public meeting to be held at the Invercargill Public Library's upstairs meeting room on Sunday, June 30th. Doors will open at 1:30 p.m., and the meeting will start promptly at 2:00 p.m.

Mike is currently working on a video that will be shown, as well as others sharing their stories. We also want someone from Labour and the Greens.

In order for this meeting to be a success and get our message out, it's important that we all do our part to help out so the work doesn't always fall on the same people. This has already been a long battle, and I know people are tired and stressed, but we won't give up until our funding is sorted.

Help is needed for the following:

• Set up - Three people are required to set up chairs and set up space for Carolyn to type up the event and put it away after

• Greeters: Two people are required to stand at the door, welcome people, and ask them to sign in and check out the info table.

• Refreshments - Two people to set up and clean up food and drink

If you are keen to help, please get in touch with me ASAP on 021 502 504 

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Invercargill video documentary to be made

By: Mike Peters

DUNZ: Tuesday, 14 May 2024

DUNZ-Invercargill is making a 15-minute video documentary to explain the impacts of the funding cuts through the voices of 5 disabled people. Filming will start next week and be finished by the first week of June. The video will then be edited to a high standard and subtitled. It will be played at an upcoming public meeting in Invercargill and then shared on YouTube.

It will have five short interviews with disabled people and/or their families.

Each 3-minute interview will ask;

• Who are you?

• How were you affected by the effect funding cuts?

• What do you want changed?

We need five volunteers from around Invercargill who are prepared to talk about their lives.

If you are interested, please get in touch with Mike Peters.
