Hours:

WanderSearch Canterbury Charitable Trust supports people who are at risk of going missing. We supply radio frequency devices that can be worn by the individual and allow them to be found quickly by NZ Police and Land Search and Rescue should they go missing. We work with all age groups and conditions e.g. Autism, Dementia, Brain Injury. Volunteers are needed in the Selwyn region to deliver devices to vulnerable clients at risk of going missing. Every six months after delivery the devices are picked up and changed over for battery purposes. This is caring and meaningful work albeit simple and straightforward. It involves around 3 hours work per month.

WanderSearch provides peace of mind for the person using the device and their family/whanau, friends and caregivers that should they go missing there are methods to assist in locating them quickly. This supports vulnerable individuals living and participating with freedom in the communities they love.
