It’s Te Wiki Tūao ā-Motu – National Volunteer Week!
Here’s to our crew of more than 11,800 volunteers serving across Aotearoa New Zealand 🙌
Our volunteers respond 24/7, 365 days of the year. We want to acknowledge what they give up to do this. Dinners are cut short, work is left for others to pick up and sometimes precious moments are missed.
Join us in thanking our volunteers for their dedication, and their whānau and employers, who support them to respond. ❤️ See less
