Have you spotted Volunteering Canterbury out and about on the Orbiter? Our back-of-bus promotion is helping spread the word that 2026 is International Volunteer Year, recognising the important contribution volunteers make to communities around the world.

From supporting local organisations and connecting people to strengthening communities and improving wellbeing, volunteering has a significant impact across Waitaha Canterbury. We’re proud to help shine a light on the people who give their time, skills and energy to make our communities stronger.

A big thank you to Volunteering New Zealand for funding this promotion and helping us get the message on the road!

If you spot us on your travels, please let us know! Tag us on our socials or send us a message – bonus points for a photo. 📸
