Co-ordinator - Sylvia Temple

My name is Sylvia Temple and I have been running the Rangiora Newcomers for the last seven years under the umbrella of the Neighbourhood Support in our area.

With my husband and family I came to New Zealand from England forty six years ago and have enjoyed all this wonderful country has to offer but still remember that first lonely year so I was very happy to take on the job of setting up help for people in that situation.

It has been a great pleasure over those years to meet so many lovely people and help them on their way to settle into a new life and make the most of what is on offer for their future.

With a new committee as we join the National Newcomers Network we hope to be able to welcome even more newcomers to our lovely area and help them become part of a friendly caring community.
