Te Hua o te Mahi Tahi - The benefit of working together, this has never been more evident than in recent months when Aotearoa has pulled together to keep our communities safe and healthy.
National Volunteer Week comes at a time when volunteers have played a crucial role in supporting communities, in emergency services, food banks, budgeting and advice and keeping connected. If you're looking for a way to recognise and acknowledge volunteers this NVW you might like to create a hand wave photo, video or group zoom and wave your appreciation for volunteers. Use the hashtags #NVW2020 #mahitahi #teamwork #tautoko #support #whakamiha
#appreciate #volunteers to add to the viral campaign. |

Expanding to Northland: Free Disability Supported Employment Services
In Aotearoa, 1.1 million people (24%) have a disability, and only 22% have a job. Looking for employment can be an incredibly challenging and isolating experience for people with disabilities.
To improve these statistics, Geneva has teamed up with Ministry of Social Development NZ to serve the Northland community with free employment services that find the best match between candidates with their employers.
“We are excited to expand our services to the Northland region so that so all New Zealanders regardless of disability can have the chance to showcase their talents and skills, contribute to their communities and live their best lives,”

It has been a strange year to connect with our community in a normal way. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we haven't held a remembrance service in 2020. So please join us as we unite our remembrance with the celebration of Matariki. We invite you all to be a part of the Hospice Tairawhiti Matariki Rememberance group. Share the love of your loved ones with our community.
We will be discussing how the stars of Matariki complement the Hospice Tairawhiti's Philosophy over the next few days. We look forward to building our Matariki Remembrance community over the next month. Link on groups or join by following this link https://www.facebook.com/groups/188260422616809/

The future of volunteering is online
Date: 7 Jul, 2020
Time: 1:00pm - 2:00pm NZST
Cost: FREE
There has never been a more important time in history for charities and skilled volunteers to connect. In Australia, we have millions of talented people who want to make a difference, and thousands of purpose-driven organisations looking for skilled volunteers. The challenge lies with these two groups finding one another, and in a fast and efficient way. Online volunteering can allow change-makers to find meaningful opportunities in seconds, and allow charities to source the talent they need in a swift and efficient manner.
