- Our Manager, Meg Martin wrote "I would like to truly thank our member organisations, our incredible staff and volunteers, as well as our funders and stakeholders for being so engaged in the development of our volunteer programmes and volunteerism. I would also like to thank our past, current, and incoming Board members who sit around the table and give their time, expertise and insights to Volunteer Marlborough. We are very fortunate to have such a diverse and passionate group of people who believe in the important work that we do."

I'm desperate to have her back and I'd really appreciate it if you could keep an eye out for her. Her name is Dumpling and she's a tabby. Her tail goes all the way over her back when it's up, she's a bit timid and not very bright, but she's my heart.
Dumpling is 18 months old now, she's microchipped and de-sexed. She has a very round sounding meow. She's a kind of yellow possum-coloured tabby cat with spots on her belly. If you've been feeding a cat that sounds like this, who's been around for the last few weeks, I'd really, really appreciate it if you could get in touch, or catch her and take her to a vet or the SPCA.
If you've had a tabby cat pass away on your property in the central Blenheim area I'd really like to be able to put her body to rest in the garden that she loves so much.
Please help me find her. Thank you.

Good news – 2021 is set to be the year of the long weekend.

In fact, once you’ve tacked on the weekends, you’ll end up getting a whopping 25 days off out of those 10 stat days, plus your region’s anniversary day.
