Our Group Volunteering Programme encourages teams to support their members in carrying out voluntary projects. Whether your team is a business, school, club or special interest group, a non-profit partnership is a win-win for all involved.
Group Volunteering is an opportunity for businesses, schools, clubs and special interest groups to utilise their interests and values in a voluntary capacity, to help meet the needs of community organisations in a practical way. It’s also a great way to support your team’s wellbeing – ticking all the boxes of the Five Ways to Wellbeing: Be Active, Learn, Take Notice, Connect and Give!
We invite teams to make a Koha in support of our Group Volunteering Programme. This should be an expression of the value that your team derives from your Group Volunteering project.
We suggest $150 per project.
How long are Group Volunteering Projects?
You can choose between a half day (morning or afternoon) or full day project.
What if our Group can’t all volunteer at the same time?
We can put together a plan for your team, including multiple dates and times to suit your availability.
What if our Group don’t all want to do the same project?
We can put together a plan including different options for your team.
Our Group has varying abilities, can we still go to the same project?
We will help to find the right project for your Group, so that the experience is worthwhile for the whole team!
Is there a cost involved?
We invite teams to make a Koha, in support of our Group Volunteering Programme. This should be an expression of the value to your team of your Group Volunteering project. We suggest $150 per project.
What should we wear to our project?
Once the project is confirmed, you will receive details including any special clothing requirements.
What happens if it rains?
The host organisation will make a decision regarding the weather. If it is an outdoor project, they may have an alternative they can offer onsite, or we will reschedule your project.
Do you arrange transport for our Group?
Your Group will need to arrange its own transport to and from the project site.
Our project is scheduled for the school holidays, can we bring the kids?
Please let us know if this is likely and we will find a project that is a good fit for the youngsters as well.
Is food provided?
Host organisations will provide tea and coffee making facilities. You will need to bring your own snacks and food.
Can we have a BBQ?
If you want to split a day project into two with a BBQ lunch, or finish a project with a BBQ, let us know and we will find a site that can provide BBQ equipment.
