Volunteer Managers change lives — both the lives of volunteers themselves and of those served by well-led volunteers. The theme of this year’s International Volunteer Managers Day looks into the future and asks, “What’s our future normal?”
Imagine a future where it is normal for Volunteer Management to be well resourced and supported in our community organisations. It should be normal for volunteer management teams to have the right resources to carry out their jobs effectively.
IVM Day is a chance for volunteer managers to recognise what you have achieved and put some stepping stones in place towards a future normal, hopefully a more supported, well-resourced normality.
In October, the fine for parking in a designated mobility car park without a permit has jumped from $150 to $750—a 400% increase!
The goal is to keep these spaces open for those who truly need them. Do you think this big increase in the fine is fair? Share your thoughts below.

The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!
