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!

Lincoln University Student Expo
On 12 August, we took part in the Lincoln University Student Expo, chatting to students about what's involved when you volunteer, and how you can give back to your community while gaining valuable skills - for life and your CV! It was great to see so many young people interested in volunteering and making a difference in this way. And, what a beautiful Spring day to top if off!

Our annual Student Volunteering Expo
On 28 July, we held our annual Student Volunteering Expo in partnership with University of Canterbury to give students the opportunity to talk volunteering face-to-face with a range of organisations. As always, this event had a great turn out, the Undercroft was buzzing! Special shout out to Jessie, who volunteering to help us man our stall for the occasion. We met Jessie at a recent Employment Seminar for Refugees and Migrants hosted by St Barnabas Church. We were also joined by Kobe, a Hearing Dog who has recently joined the Vounteering Canterbury team, accompanying our Outreach Manager.
