Lynley Macleod

Co-Branch Coordinator

My career has been in librarianship, retiring from a senior management role at Dunedin Public Libraries in 2007. After owning and operating motels in Christchurch, I moved to Geraldine in 2016.

I am currently the manager of the Geraldine Community Resource Centre, a varied role which offers so much support to our community. I enjoy living in the small semi-rural town, especially being so close to my grandchildren.

Vicki and I see sharing the role of Branch Coordinator as a wonderful opportunity to further help people in Geraldine.

We have five meals:

Why do more than 700 amazing people choose to volu

Why do more than 700 amazing people choose to volunteer for Bellyful? Here are just some of their reasons:

📢"I love that we are helping families physically with the provision of a meal to make their day a little easier, and also hoping it helps them realise they are not alone and there is care and help available."

📢"I love volunteering for Bellyful – I have met so many amazing ladies who give up their time and give 100% to a cause they believe in."

📢"I especially enjoy doing deliveries, seeing the difference a few meals can make to families feeling the pressure of new life or troubled times."

📢 "I love that by volunteering for Bellyful I help strangers who I have never met and make a little difference in somebody’s life."

You can read more of our volunteers' stories in our website bellyful.org.nz
