Kiwis don't volunteer for the CV. They volunteer because it's who they are.

69.5% say volunteering is simply part of their values, it's not a task or an obligation. Just part of who they are.

Close behind: believing in the cause (61.4%) and wanting to show manaakitanga, care and generosity toward others (55.6%). Skill-building and free time didn't make the top motivations. Identity and community did.

We give because we care. It's pretty straightforward.

Help shape the future of local government on the Coromandel Peninsula.

The Government has asked councils to consider reform options — and we want to hear from our community to inform our choices…

Survey open: now until 15 June

Your feedback will help shape the options for the future of local government in the Thames-Coromandel district.

Mayor Peter Revell says:
“Time is short, but that makes it even more important that we hear from our communities now.”

Head to www.tcdc.govt.nz/localgovernmentreforms to make sure your voice is heard.
