We are all different...

Hannah Cunningham from Volunteer Marlborough

We recognise that people are different and,because of this, volunteering cannot be 'one-size fits all'. That's why we offer 'reverse recruitment'.⁠

We recognise that people are different and,because of this, volunteering cannot be 'one-size fits all'. That's why we offer 'reverse recruitment'.⁠


Are you looking for a volunteering opportunity that is a little out of the ordinary? Or looking to use specific skills? ⁠

Maybe you've looked through the volunteer roles listed on our website and we just don't have what you're looking for at the moment?



This is where our Reverse Recruitment programme comes in. Reverse Recruitment is a FREE service that involves you sitting down with a VM staff member to talk about who YOU are and what YOU want to get out of volunteering. We ask about your dreams, hobbies, skills, passions, experience, future plans, etc. We then build a unique profile and send it out to our network of community organisations and groups so that we can find an opportunity that is tailored just for YOU!⁠ ⁠

What do you think about cheques becoming obsolete?

Reporter Marlborough Express

New Zealand banks are stopping the use of cheques in the coming months, and many businesses and services are already phasing out accepting cheques as payment methods. What other methods of payment will you be using instead? Is internet banking a problem for you?

Take a moment and to read Olivia Crump's story on her experience as a Stars Peer Mentor.

When mentoring young people, Olivia quickly learnt being adaptable was one of the biggest ways to connect with the younger students.

For some students, they were reluctant and didn’t want to partake in activities, she found sitting down and having general conversations opened up students and changed the view on mentors to be relatable and less intimidating. This encouraged students to interact not only inside the classroom but during lunch breaks and after school.

One of the biggest takeaways from being a stars peer mentor for Olivia was the opportunities that came from the community project and doing something positive for other people. Meeting people through the community and the Graeme Dingle Foundation allowed Olivia to get her very first corporate job at Kerridge & Partners which is something she will always appreciate and remember.
