Report on Government Support for Volunteering released
Since 2002, government has completed significant work in response to the Government Policy on Volunteering and as part of the Government Volunteering Work Programme.
In June 2008, this work was summarised by the Office for the Community & Voluntary Sector, and reported to Cabinet in the document 'Government Support for Volunteering 2002–2008'.
A few outstanding items are still due for completion, however a new collaborative stream of work under the banner of Promoting Generosity has now been introduced.
You can download the report 'Government Support for Volunteering 2002-2008' from the OCVS website (www.ocvs.govt.nz/work-programme/volunteering.html), or request a hard copy by e-mailling ocvs@msd.govt.nz.
