This month we celebrate National Volunteer Week | Te Wiki Tūao ā-Motu (16-22 June), where we take time to acknowledge the contribution of all the amazing volunteers in communities around Aotearoa. This year the theme is Weaving the People Together – Whiria te Tangata.

As an organisation, we are fortunate to have over 2,000 fantastic individuals giving their time, skills and kindness to provide the CAB service – weaving together our collective contributions to make a big difference in people’s lives!
