We love this time of year at Volunteering Central as National Volunteer Week is approaching. National Volunteer Week is held from 15th to 21st of June. The theme is “Naku te rourou nau te rourou ka ora ai te tangata” which has been translated as “With your contribution and my contribution the people will live.” We celebrate the knowledge, skills and invaluable contributions of volunteers. Each year Volunteering Central enjoys celebrating volunteering with volunteers from around our region as we invite anyone involved in volunteering to join us and be thanked for making such an amazing difference in our communities. This year we hope to welcome plenty of familiar faces along with lots of new ones, as we change the time of our celebrations to enable those working during the day to join us. We also hope the snow and ice stays away to enable Mayor Vanessa van Uden to make the journey from Queenstown to join Deputy Mayor Lyal Cocks who will be thanking volunteers from their area for all they do to keep the community thriving.
coming soon
Our volunteers really are the backbone of the community and this year’s theme of encouraging individuals to bring together their own skills, knowledge and experience to share in order to benefit the wider community, sits so well with us at Volunteering Central. We believe that a volunteer who is connected to an organisation they are passionate about, and one where they can thrive and empower themselves and others, has some inspiring and powerful results. Thank you to volunteers across the Upper Clutha for the astounding amount of hours you donate to our community. Please join us during National Volunteer Week this June. This year’s celebration will take place on Wednesday June 18th from 5.15pm - 6.15pm in Wanaka. For full details and to confirm your attendance please contact Gillian at Volunteering Central on centralvolunteering@ gmail.com or call 443 4102. All volunteers are extremely welcome.
