Meet the nominees for the Volunteer Recognition Event 2022

We are so proud to have hosted our 9th Volunteer Recognition Event. The purpose of the VRE is to thank volunteers by recognising their efforts and showing them our appreciation. Volunteers change people's lives by offering their time and skills to help others, asking nothing in return. You are inspirational!

Dear nominees, this celebration is for you as a symbol of the community's appreciation for your time and effort in supporting our communities.

Our special thank you to the volunteers that helped this event happen, from Rangitāne o Manawatū [Nuwyne Te Awe Awe Mohi] for the blessings and opening, the MCs, the event, and office volunteers, all our appreciation. You are awesome! Without your help, we wouldn't be able to host such a fabulous event. How remarkable it was!

We want to thank the organisations that put volunteer names forward and for their presence in the event supporting their volunteers. Also, we really appreciated the Mayor of Manawatū District Council, Helen Worboys and the Mayor of Horowhenua District Council, Bernie Wanden, for handing the certificates to the volunteers. Our thank you to the nominees' families and friends for your support and, last but not least, our sponsors and supporters that allowed us to brighten up the event.
