Our Advocates

Anne
Hi my name is Anne Collins, I am raised in Blenheim and continue to enjoy living here. I have six amazing children ranging from 30 to 19 years old plus two beautiful granddaughters, 7 and 3 years old.

While raising my children, I have been a caregiver for Oranga Tamariki (CYFS) where I have meet some amazing people and had many experiences with different agencies. I have always been passionate about children’s wellbeing, working in the field of family violence advocating for women and children to be free from violence and live safe and without fear in our community.
​
I have had my own experience of mental health issues which I am still dealing with everyday, which is part of the reason I became a counsellor. I am enjoying meeting and working with our clients and advocating on behalf of them within our community, while building relationships with the many agencies and people along the way.

George
Hi, my name is George and I am one of the advocates for CARE Marlborough.  
I have lived in Blenheim for the last 9 years with my partner and her two adult children. I have lived and worked throughout New Zealand, however I really like Marlborough as it is similar to Canterbury where I grew up.
I have been involved in supporting people with things important to them for a number of years, and I get a lot of satisfaction from being able to do this, and work with such a wide range of different people.
I am looking forward to meeting more members of CARE Marlborough and I always value stopping and talking with people.
