This week, VM joins 16 other volunteer centres and Volunteering NZ in honouring the collective energies and mana of all our volunteers in Aotearoa. It’s also time to shine a light on the impact of volunteering – which contributes an estimated $4 billion to the New Zealand economy – yet it is under-resourced and under-valued.

This year, the theme for Te Wiki Tūao ā-Motu (National Volunteer Week) is ‘Time to Shine / He wā pīataata.’ so let’s thank volunteers for the difference they make to the Marlborough community!

A big thank you to everyone who nominated a small business in this year's Prospa Local Business Hero awards - and who got behind our 11 regional finalists and voted.

And a huge congratulations to Meg Wilson - the founder of PAWS (Pet Animal Welfare Shops) across South Waikato! Meg's passion for pets received almost 20% of votes which has seen her walk away with a prize package worth $10,000 to support the work she and her team of volunteers do each day.

Thank you Neighbourly members for rallying around businesses in your community and continuing to show them how valued they are!
