State of Volunteering Reports

Wendy Richards from Volunteering New Plymouth

These bi-annual reports measure and explain volunteering. Volunteering NZ uses the information to:

• Provide sector leadership, strategy advice, and reliable statistics
• Advocate for volunteering to decision-makers and government
• Provide training and resources for the sector.

In 2022 the state of volunteering in Aotearoa was reported to be generally healthy, however there were opportunities for more support for volunteers and volunteering.

Please tell us about your experience as a leader in an organisation involving volunteers.

• Help us identify key issues and trends affecting volunteering.
• We can better advocate for support for volunteering.

Please complete the Volunteering New Zealand survey to help with understanding of the current state of volunteering.

The surveys are anonymous, mostly multi-choice with some places to provide free text answers. They will be up until (estimated) 29 February – we encourage volunteers to do them over the holiday period.
