Here's a few highlights:
- We celebrated 317 new volunteer seekers registering with us, 244 volunteer applications, adding 29 new volunteering opportunities, facilitating five networking meetings and five professional development workshops, and connecting with 22 new community organisations.
- Our Chairperson, Beth Barnes, wrote "This year has been different, challenging, and unlike any we’ve known, but we have learned some new things that we can take into the future and continue the evolution of the organisation, making sure we continue to be relevant in the future."
- Our Manager, Meg Martin wrote "I would like to truly thank our member organisations, our incredible staff and volunteers, as well as our funders and stakeholders for being so engaged in the development of our volunteer programmes and volunteerism. I would also like to thank our past, current, and incoming Board members who sit around the table and give their time, expertise and insights to Volunteer Marlborough. We are very fortunate to have such a diverse and passionate group of people who believe in the important work that we do."
