National Volunteer Week

Jyn from Volunteer Marlborough

It's National Volunteer Week! This week, VM joins 16 other volunteer centres and Volunteering NZ in honouring the collective energies and mana of all our volunteers in Aotearoa. It’s also time to shine a light on the impact of volunteering – which contributes an estimated $4 billion to the New Zealand economy – yet it is under-resourced and under-valued.

This year, the theme for Te Wiki Tūao ā-Motu (National Volunteer Week) is ‘Time to Shine / He wā pīataata.’ so let’s thank volunteers for the difference they make to the Marlborough community!

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
