What our members say about us…

“NZFVWO membership ensures we are aware of the wider network and issues and trends affecting people in other parts of New Zealand.”
Stacia Smith, New Plymouth Budget Advisory Service

“We belong because of the work you do-we can’t do everything. The Federation does different things from our own national organisation.”
Cheryll Martin, Volunteering Auckland

“We appreciate being part of a national umbrella that identifies and discusses issues that are important to our sector and does something about them. We have found the Federation to be a good advocate and it is ideally placed to continue as a major advocate for our sector.”
Andrea Goble, Community Waikato
