Kia ora team! Although LEAP is over for the year, it doesn’t mean that volunteering should stop! Please follow the link below if you're interested in volunteering for the Heart Foundation!

All they need is two hours of your time on Friday 25 and/or Saturday 26 February 2022. The money you help to raise will fund life-saving heart research. It’s a special opportunity to connect with people in your local community, supporting a cause that really is life-changing! Follow the link below if you're interested.

One in five Kiwis loses their life to heart disease. This February thousands of volunteers will hit the streets to collect donations to fund life-saving research into heart disease. Will you get involved?
