Rise magazine explores different aspects of giving

Ministry of Social Development,

The latest issue of the Ministry of Social Development's Rise magazine explores ‘giving' - with features on how volunteering brings generations together and the Generosity Hub's work to cultivate a culture of giving.

The magazine reports that although it's been a tough year for many New Zealanders, instead of a drop in donations of time, money and energy that might be expected during a recession, the reverse has turned out to be true.

The issue highlights the many different ways that Kiwis give, including:

• well-known Kiwis like Oscar Kightley who donate time to good causes
• employers like Landcare who offer support to mainstream employees
• work broker Sue Dynes who goes the extra mile within her job
• and Ministry employees like Stew, Max and Gail who volunteer in their communities with Habitat for Humanity, the Special Olympics and the Taukoko Teina mentor programme.
