As part of the lead up to International Volunteer Managers Day (IVMD), we caught up with a few of the fantastic Managers of Volunteers here in Marlborough.⁠
⁠Introducing Tehya Henare-Toka, the wonderful Community Services Coordinator at @plunketnz in Marlborough:⁠

- Tell us about how you first got involved with Plunket? I had recently moved to the Marlborough area and I was looking for work. When I saw the role being advertised, I thought it was a good fit with my past professional experience so I applied. The more I learned about Plunket, the more I realised what great initiatives we are responsible for in the community and what fantastic support we get from the National team.⁠

- What was your first impression? I didn't know much about the organisation prior to taking on the role, admittedly. I'd had my own Plunket baby book but I looked at the role as a bit of a blank slate for me to come in and make my mark and build on the work that had been done before my arrival. Plunket is so much more than just a wellness check with a nurse, it is all about being a wraparound service for local families and their tamariki/children, following the Te Whare Tapa Whā model of care.⁠

- What's the best thing to happen since you started working here? Probably being able to see a project started, carried out, and finished that has an impact on the community. It is so rewarding to see that all come together and see the way it can change people's lives.⁠

Courtney and Ben were tenacious and bold, and now they're living happily in their Hawke's Bay home.
Have a read and see how they did it, and while you're at it have a listen to our third episode of First Rung, the podcast for first home buyers for a little more inspiration.
