State of Volunteering Reports
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.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
