Breast Cancer Foundation NZ is calling for volunteers to help run the NZ House & Garden Tours in Taupō.

Each year, more than $100,000 is donated to Breast Cancer Foundation NZ as the charity partner of the event since 2014.

This year, volunteers were sought for tours on March 13 and 14 offering an exclusive look inside the beautifully curated homes and gardens featured in NZ House & Garden magazine.

“The money raised through the NZ House & Garden Tours directly supports our life-saving work in research, education and patient support,” Breast Cancer Foundation NZ chief executive Ah-Leen Rayner said.

“They’re a much-loved fixture in our year, and a wonderful way for people to experience some exceptional homes while supporting a cause that touches so many Kiwis’ lives.”

Rayner said volunteers were instrumental to the success of the tours.

“We simply can’t run them without you. So we’re encouraging anyone who’s able to lend a hand to sign up and be part of something truly meaningful.”

Volunteers were required for morning, afternoon or full-day shifts to help to make sure the houses are looked after and the tour-goers are kept safe.

In return, they’ll receive a small gift in recognition of the generous donation of their time.
