We are proud to celebrate 20 years of supporting, strengthening, and connecting our community through the power of volunteering.
For two decades, we have worked alongside individuals, community groups, and organisations across the region to foster a culture of generosity and service. This milestone is not only a reflection of our journey, but a celebration of the thousands of volunteers who have given their time, skills, and compassion to make Hawke’s Bay a better place for all.
As part of this special occasion, we are honoured to share this message from Napier Mayor Richard McGrath.
We are deeply grateful for the continued support of our local leaders, partners, and community champions who recognise the vital role volunteering plays in creating resilient, inclusive, and thriving communities. As we reflect on the past 20 years, we also look ahead with optimism. The need for connection, kindness, and community support has never been greater — and we remain committed to inspiring and enabling people to make a difference.
To every volunteer, partner organisation, and supporter who has been part of our journey: thank you. This milestone belongs to you.
Here’s to the next 20 years of volunteering in Hawke’s Bay!
