This year’s theme is ‘Tūturu te tangata, tūturu te tautoko – real people, real support. It reflects the fact that the CAB is a place where people can get help from a real person who will assist them with the questions, issues or challenges they are facing.
We are able to offer this person-to-person assistance because of our trained volunteers working out of our office [offices] here in [location]. Our volunteers are the people who deliver our service of information and advice to the public. They volunteer for the CAB because they want to support and empower people and make a difference in people’s lives.
Our volunteers will listen to you and tautoko (support) you with the information you need to help you understand your rights and options and to figure out your next steps. They can connect you with the specialist services you may need.
In the past year, our volunteers from the local community responded to [insert number of enquiries] enquiries from the public. They assisted people with questions and issues on a wide range of topics including renting, employment, relationship issues, immigration issues, consumer problems, and more.
You can learn more about the CAB by reading the most recent CABNZ Annual Report, at:
www.cab.org.nz...
Informed by the work CAB does with clients, in the past year CABNZ (our national body) has spoken out on social justice issues including those relating to income support, the Family Court system, consumer rights, temporary work visas, the voting system, homelessness and severe housing need, and the redress system for those who experienced abuse while living under the guardianship or care of state or faith-based organisations.

If you need support and don’t know who to ask, or if you would like to give back to the community through volunteering with an organisation whose mahi assists people individually and also benefits the wider community, CAB could be the place for you.
Hono mai! Join us! Come and be part of the CAB - an organisation that offers the community real support from real people.

It’s one of our aims as an organisation that we will do this work – and that has been the case since the birth of the CAB in Aotearoa in the early 1970s.
Every time we support a client, we record what they wanted assistance with and what we did in response. This gives us unique information about the issues affecting people in our communities. We use the insights this information gives us to seek changes that will benefit the whole community.

CAB volunteers deliver our service of information and advice to the public so that people can find a way forward with the questions, issues and challenges they are facing.
As a CAB volunteer, you would have the chance to make a difference in people’s lives through your mahi aroha (voluntary work). You would get to be part of an organisation that not only assists the people who use our service, but that also benefits the wider community. This is because CAB uses the insights, we gain from our mahi to advocate for laws, policies and services that protect and support peoples’ human rights and wellbeing.
We give our volunteers great training to be able to deliver the CAB service, and if you volunteer with us, you will gain valuable learning and experience through working with clients, as well as the benefits of working alongside a diverse group of committed volunteers, making a positive impact together.
Hono mai! Join us! Come and be part of the CAB - an organisation that offers the community real support from real people.
