Roger Beattie
Roger was born and raised in Southland and has recently returned to Invercargill with his wife, Rosie, and two young boys after nearly two decades away.  Roger is a registered architect and has taken up the reins at a long established local architectural practice.  He enjoys spending time with family, reading, mountaining biking, tramping and generally getting reacquainted with the south. Roger was attracted to the team at Habitat by the thought of using his experience and knowledge in the design and construction industries to help those less fortunate in the local community.  He enjoys the idea of being able to help others to help themselves and hopes to provide positive input to the local Habitat team.
 

ReStore Manager
Angela Stainburn
My name is Angela Stainburn and I have been the manager of the Habitat For Humanity ReStore since 1997. I  love my job as I feel it genuinely makes a difference to people’s lives. I never fail to be touched by the on-going support of the local community by continuing to donate an amazing array of furniture, appliances, whiteware, linen, bric- brac, books, toys, clothing etc. We are lucky enough to have an extremely large ex- supermarket building here which means we can house a variety of different goods.
The sales of these goods provides funding for the building of Habitat For Humanity homes in Invercargill.We also help the local community by selling good quality pre-loved products at a fraction of the price of buying new.
