Special project funding has been received from the Support for Volunteering Fund to enable Volunteering NZ to facilitate a research project to identify what resources would be required to aid the development of volunteering within the Pacific communities and how best such resources might be provided.

VNZ will be working with a Pacific consultancy service and will be seeking input from leaders from the different Pacific communities to discuss volunteering within their communities, how it might be further developed and what resources would assist such further development. The project will be taking place over the next eight months.
