This month we’re rolling up our sleeves, putting up our hands, and saying ‘YES’ to giving our time and skills to projects that make Aotearoa a better place to live.

As a mostly volunteer-led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!

Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (20-26 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re getting involved this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:

From Thursday May 27, the Taupō Museum and Art Gallery’s Lake Gallery will be closed for two weeks for repainting.

The Museum’s foyer area and shop, Wharenui display, art gallery rooms and Tūwharetoa Gallery will remain open during this time, with entrance to the latter available through the Museum’s Courtyard. The exhibition ‘Instinctively Inherent’ and the Courtyard’s award-winning Ora Garden will also remain open to the public.

The repainting will help freshen up the Lake Gallery, which currently hosts the Early History of Taupō, Volcanology, Timber Mill, Fishing and Boating, Moa and Kiwiana Caravan displays. The work, which is taking place at a traditionally quiet time of the year for the Museum, follows recent renewal and refreshment of displays, including restoration of 15-metre waka, and the Moa skeleton exhibit.

Over the repainting period of Thursday May 27 until reopening on Friday June 11, entry to the Museum will be free not only for locals, but also for out-of-town visitors.
