As we approach the season of giving, Rotary has an opportunity to make a direct, tangible difference in the lives of New Zealanders experiencing homelessness. This Christmas, we invite Rotarians to support the Shelterbag Project—a practical, life-changing initiative already gaining momentum across Auckland and now ready for nationwide distribution.

 

Tim Orr has a passion for service to the community and a long-standing interest in the role of justice and equity.  A Downtown Auckland Rotary Club member since 2014, Tim has participated in a wide variety of service projects including organising and packing Emergency Response Kits for the Pacific Islands, tree planting in Hauraki Gulf, assisting in the Model United Nations Assembly school competitions, presenting at Rotary Youth Leadership Awards and as a panel member on Battle of the Suits.

 

Tim says: “We have an opportunity to leverage the well-recognised Rotary brand, further energise the Club and attract business leaders who are like minded with a passion for service and creating an equitable society both here in New Zealand and further afield.”
