Group Volunteers - Ernst & Young at SPCA

On 17 November, a team of five from Ernst & Young Christchurch chose to use their Volunteer Leave to undertake a working bee at the SPCA Christchurch centre. The hard working participants prompted many positive comments from staff at the centre, who mentioned the tremendous work they had achieved with line trimming and gardening on the grounds. Thanks to this fantastic team for their awesome mahi!

A day-visit from our Mid & South colleagues

On 9 November, our colleagues from Volunteering Mid & South Canterbury travelled up from their Timaru and Ashburton offices to join us for the day. It was a fantastic opportunity to catch up, learn from each other, talk over the current issues we’re facing in the sector, and just generally support each other's work. A silver lining from that has stemmed from the Covid19 pandemic has been the increased collaboration we've enjoyed across our Volunteer Centre network. Thank you to Dellwyn and Wendy for spending the day with us!

Marking 'World Photo Day'

On 19 August, we marked World Photo Day, by creating team photos - Disney style! Clockwise from top left we have Mary Ellen, Alison, Glenda and Tammy. It was a great way to "see" each other even while we were in lockdown!
