Many of Plunket’s programmes can only be offered to families thanks to the generosity of our volunteers. They give us so much of their time, energy and love – we’re beyond grateful!
We sat down to chat with one superstar, Rory Foley, to learn a little more about him and what inspires him to volunteer with Plunket.
Can you tell us a little about yourself?
I’m a construction specialist from South Canterbury and also a horror fan! I created FearNZ which is a charitable company that raises money for organisations, including Plunket so they can keep their community services up and running. From spooky maize mazes to abandoned prison and warehouse set-ups, my team and I scare people as a truly unique way to fundraise.
I’m also more than happy to grab my tools and visit a local Plunket clinic to fix a wobbly table or anything else that may need sorting!
What do you enjoy most about your volunteering?
I absolutely love supporting the community, and Plunket has such a wonderful family feel to it. I enjoy seeing people connect and help each other, and I get to make new friends and witness the difference the organisation makes for a family. No two days are the same.
What is next for you?
I’m currently working on a top-secret project (so I can’t say much about this yet!) which will raise money for Plunket while giving people of all ages a fun experience. Stay tuned…
