Te Wiki Tūao ā-Motu - National Volunteer Week honours the collective work, energy and mana of all volunteers in Aotearoa. They grow and connect our people, create joy and are the glue that hold our communities together. Volunteers are the first to put their hand up when others are in need and do a great job keeping communities ticking along and looking fantastic.

As part of Volunteer Week 2024, we invited our community volunteer groups to a special morning, afternoon tea or wine and cheese evening in their respective towns with our Mayor and Ward Councillors. 

If your group didn't receive an invite then we don't know about the awesome work you are doing in our community. Please contact us at 07 884 0060 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  to provide your details.
