When?
We try and plan most of our events and projects during the weekends, and at different times from as many sporting activities as possible! Details of upcoming events are posted on the TableSide website out under our Events category.
Where?
We are based in Auckland and most of our projects to date have taken place around the Ellerslie, Greenlane and Onehunga areas. However, because the people who are part of TableSide are from all over Auckland, you will find that service opportunities are often found all over Auckland as well.
Can my kids get involved?
ABSOLUTELY!
Our hope is that our children will become an integral part of our community involvement so that they can gain an awareness of their neighborhood and the ways in which they can be involved in looking out for others.
Parents and adults can help guide little ones and youth to make a positive difference in the world. No act of kindness is too small to be performed.
We can encourage and show our kids how to be a source of hope for those in need. Volunteer opportunities that allow kids to see the benefits of that service are the best ways to start.
We will endeavour to find charitable activities that children of various ages can participate in. Some may spark more interest than others, so try to be attentive to which area of community service your child is particularly drawn to and continue exploring that area.
Generosity and kindness are universal virtues that enrich lives:
