Who we are
Volunteer Marlborough is an independent Volunteer Centre committed to promoting volunteerism and to assisting the residents of Marlborough to find opportunities to become involved as volunteers. We work within the community to strengthen the sector by advocacy, support and training.
Our organisation began as a satellite office of Volunteer Nelson in 2003 and, in 2007, became a registered Charitable Trust with its own Board of Trustees. In 2009 we moved our office to our current location at Marlborough House where we have access to meeting rooms and share resources with 3 other Not for Profit Organisations - Literacy Marlborough, English Language Partners, and the Marlborough Migrant Centre.
We are guided in our activities in the community by our Strategic Plan, which can be found here: www.volunteermarlborough.org.nz...
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

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

Are you for, or against?

9.7% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.2% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.
