Numbers are interesting. They’re the outputs, the raw data which helps us
measure our performance. However the heart of the success from our three
active offices – Volunteer Wellington, Volunteer Hutt and Volunteer Porirua
– is how many lives we’ve been able to change through doing what we’re doing.
A connected community creates a strong society. Our strategic objectives
are focused on connections that will have an ongoing impact within
community life – and therefore New Zealand as a whole.
Tales from Volunteer Wellington’s Chair and permanent staff members –
their own and other stories to which they have contributed – describe a year
which has been dynamic, energetic and full of change; and the relationship of
outcomes to our Key Strategic Objectives.

Chair’s report
Tena koutou
I am pleased
to present
this annual
report, my
first as chair
of Volunteer
Wellington since taking over from
Ruth Collingham at the start of
2016. We have enjoyed another
busy and successful year, but
one that has presented a few
challenges. The redevelopment
of Community House meant
that we needed to find new
accommodation midway through
2015. However, as is often the case,
what is initially seen as a disruptive
and challenging situation ends
up presenting opportunities and
benefits. The new Wellington office
is now domiciled in a light-filled
spacious office on Willis Street, a far
nicer place to work and visit.
This year the major internal focus
has been a review to benchmark
Volunteer Wellington against
international best business
practices, refining our strategic
plan and updating our policy
documents. For the most part
Volunteer Wellington fared well
in the business review, measuring
up to being a ‘remarkable
organisation’; those areas noted for
improvement have been targeted in
our three year strategic plan.
In closing I want to acknowledge
the continued support of our
community sector members,
funders and stakeholders and
to also thank my fellow Board
members, the staff (paid and
unpaid) who make Volunteer
Wellington an organisation that we
are proud to serve.

BUILDING THE NEW
"The secret of change is to focus all of
your energy not on fighting the old, but
on building the new" – Socrates
During a year of change and ‘building
the new’ our move to level 7, 186 Willis
Street was a big step; made painless
and straightforward by the work of
two volunteer project managers, Pete
Thomson and Chris Streatfield, and
also the architectural skills of John
Rogers from CCM Architects, one of
our premier supporters.
Two key staff members moved
on after nearly ten years; Lynne
Harding, manager of Volunteer
Porirua and Judy Kerr, coordinator
of the Employee Volunteering
programme. Julia Donovan, the
new manager in our Porirua office
and Lyne Pringle coordinator of our
Employee volunteering programme
(connecting businesses with our
community members) joined our team
in December bringing new skills and
fresh perspectives to our work.
Our role as a ‘pivotal connector’
within the community sector has been
a high point this year. We attracted
a further 40 diverse community
organisations to our membership of
400. 2681 individual volunteer seekers
from all walks of life made time to
connect with their communities
through our services. Almost 800
employee volunteers added value
to our community members by
completing 101 projects. Record
numbers of 620 people attended our
professional development programme
– 21 workshops and forums covering
a wide selection of hot topics and
including two international trainers
Rob Jackson from the UK and Andy
Fryar from Australia. ‘Something for
everyone’ we said at the beginning of
the year. That happened!

Networking – those valuable
connections made – is the added
benefit to attending our training
programme and celebratory events.
Hearing the ‘buzz’ as people get to
know each other, share ideas and tips
and go on to develop peer support
relationships gives us a ‘real buzz’.
These connections can make the
difference between people surviving
or thriving in their role and work
environment.
Grassroots connections made
through our mentoring programme
and peer support groups have
resulted in some amazing coaching
relationships. Profiles written reveal
the impact experienced practitioners
sharing their skills and resources
have on the professional and personal
development of our community
“The training reinforced changes
we knew we needed to make to
ensure our service is inviting to
new opportunities.”
“Great workshop – I got tools
to implement in my work and
inspiration. Great to have time
out to reflect.”
“Renewed my enthusiasm.”
“Hugely beneficial – I have
a better understanding of
volunteering in a wider context.”
“This is by far the most
interesting training on
fundraising I have been to.”
“Very engaging. Really enjoyed
meeting other NFP governance
group members.”
“Very useful, engaging and
stimulating.”
“Very valuable – motivated me to
make a start on a plan.”

There are still places left on this
workshop. Designed for small
community organisations it explores
their challenges of becoming more
productive as demand for their
services increases and looks at
the impact these changes have
on the organisations’ capacity
and capability. The workshop has
been organised in partnership
with Porirua City Council (PCC)
and CGO Transitions. It is most
effective if two or more people
from your organisation attend. PCC
has subsidised the fees for Porirua
groups and for two people from an
organisation.

Inspiring workshop
Understanding volunteers and
volunteering today
We are very excited to advise that
Volunteer Wellington is hosting
Rob Jackson, UK based renowned
international leader in the Volunteer
Management field. Rob has
written, spoken and trained on
volunteer programme management
internationally for over twenty years.
Understanding volunteers and
volunteering today is the workshop
topic which will be held on 20
October in Wellington.
This full-day workshop will look
at some of the key ways in which
society is changing and how these
changes affect volunteering. We will
discuss what leaders of volunteers
can do to update their practices to
accommodate these changes, further
enhancing their engagement and
retention of 21st century volunteers.
You’ll have the chance to explore
what you believe about volunteering
– what it is, what it isn’t, why you
think that – and consider what
this might mean for your work as
a volunteer leader. The workshop
will be highly interactive, a bit
provocative, and a lot of fun.
Make sure you grab this one-off
opportunity to spend a day with Rob

Charlie spent a morning discussing the management of volunteers and the importance
of volunteers in a democracy with five of the young leaders in Wellington for six months
as part of UnionAid’s Myanmar Young Leaders Programme. His words on a Facebook post
that day: ‘It was super inspiring – thanks for your energy and enthusiasm and keep up the
amazing work you are all doing in Myanmar!! Nga mihi nui!’
ACTION THAT SUPPORTS
AND BUILDS
Something that gives me a real buzz
in my work is meeting with a new
community organisation or a new
Manager of Volunteers in one of our
existing members and discussing all
of the ways that we can support them
in their work. One example that stands
out from the past year was a meeting
with the new Manager Volunteer
Strategy and Services at Mary Potter
Hospice, Lichelle Evans.
Lyne Pringle and I meet with
Lichelle in February 2016 and out
of that meeting, a host of action
and events took place … I connected
Lichelle with the CBD peer support
group for Managers of Volunteers as
well as with a local mentor. Meanwhile
Lyne worked with employee volunteers
from ACC to re-paint the volunteer
offices and to do some work in the
gardens at their Newtown base. And,
of course, we have been recruiting
volunteers for Mary Potter Hospice’s
day-to-day operations as well as for
their annual appeal which set a new
record for their organisation this year!
Supporting organisations and
individuals to reach their full potential
and achieve their mission through
engaging volunteers is not only
satisfying, but creates our vision for a
strong and connected community and
voluntary sector. And I think that’s
pretty darn cool!

“I am enjoying my work as a Volunteer
Activities Assistant at St John of God
Haoura Trust here in Karori. It has
certainly made me change my thinking
on what a disability actually is. I am
going to continue to do it as long as I
can. Kind regards,” Richard Anderson.
A mentoring partnership …
Willing to invest time
in thinking
Marcia Skinnon has a background in
community and social development.
Her focus is building resilient people
through their neighbourhoods and
family networks.
When she took on the leadership
of Dress for Success as executive
director she immediately recognised
her past work and life experiences
were valuable; but she also had to be
more singular about her role as the
‘face and voice’ of the organisation.
Mark Corbitt is general manager
of ICT with Contact Energy, a
company committed to contributing
to the community by encouraging
employees to volunteer. Highly
experienced, a good listener,
and with a ‘great career’ already
achieved, he was enthusiastic about
a ‘mentoring match’ with Marcia
during her first few weeks in the job.
‘I saw our potential partnership
as a very good fit as I do have an
interest in fashion.’ Among his varied
career experiences Mark worked in a
women’s clothing company for a year.
‘As we have come to know more
about one another I can see my
mentoring role providing ideas,
thoughts and possibilities – and also
challenges. In her role as the leader
of this organisation Marcia needs
the confidence to be in the public
view.’ Public speaking and how to be
relaxed about photo opportunities
has been a recent task ‘pushed’ by
Mark.
‘He has given me tips that he uses
himself as a result of comprehensive
public speaking and media training.
Find your good side, learn to
pose, practise with selfies, know
what colours you look best in …
sometimes I’ve found his challenges
difficult but there is always the room
for reflection and to think through
the different perspectives he offers.
Mark also gives me the space to offload. Say what I like.’
There is disciplined planning
around their mentoring meetings,
now a priority in their monthly
calendars with one hour monthly
being allocated throughout the year.
‘They can’t be ad hoc,’ says Mark.
A life-changing event
‘Find your good side, learn to pose,
practise with selfies …’ A selfie taken by
Marcia Skinnon with her mentor Mark
Corbitt.
He talks about their first meetings.
‘Straightaway I was struck by Marcia’s
passion. Elements of my work can be
abstract. Learning about people with
very real struggles and where life is
not so easy helps me to see my place
in community. Dress for Success can
for many, be a life-changing event.’
Acknowledging that their world
views are different Mark emphasises
that with a constructive mentoring
relationship there must be openmindedness and empathy; plus the
willingness to invest time in thinking.
‘This development of ideas is what
makes the partnership exciting.
I will continue to challenge – but
what I offer is without prejudice or
mandate.’
Marcia enjoys the fact that Mark
‘is there in a completely neutral
space to hear and to share’; and she
now feels that her ambitions to truly
meet the needs of her client group
– disadvantaged women – and to
create more grassroots’ connections
and cultural awareness are
happening through her leadership.
She was even happy about taking
a selfie of herself with Mark Corbitt,
her mentor, for this Volunteer
Wellington NEWS story.

Revisiting your top tips
The top tips for new managers
of volunteers gathered from last
month’s International Managers of
Volunteers’ Day are worth revisiting
in light of superdiversity. Points
identified as the keys to a successful
volunteer programme by the 60
attendees at our IMVDay breakfast
forum were:
"" Take time to get to know the
volunteers working in your
organisation;
"" Know volunteers’ skills and
motivations and make sure you
match them with appropriate
roles;
"" Listen to volunteers suggestions
and take on-board their feedback;
"" Recognise, thank and respect
volunteers’ contribution
(repeatedly).
And we think these points are also
central to providing an organisational
culture that is welcoming and
inclusive of diversity.
Concentration, focus, ideas at Volunteer
Wellington’s 2015 IVMDay breakfast forum.

Read all about it ... the guide that will support you
develop your volunteer programme
We are looking forward to launching, during
National Volunteer Week, our newly created
resource Developing your Volunteer Programme: A
guide for Managers of Volunteers.
We have produced this resource in partnership
with managers of volunteers in the city and
with support from volunteer centres around
the country. The resource includes tips,
tools and resources for each aspect of your
volunteer programme – from set-up to ongoing
management and exiting of volunteers.
There are a number of templates at the back of
the resource that you can adapt and use in your
volunteer programme. The guide will be freely available to
all our stakeholders and members.
If you’d like to find out more, or wish to receive a copy once it has
been officially launched, please contact Charlie on 499 4570 or charlie@
volunteerwellington.nz
“This Guide is a culmination of my learning over the past three years. Much of the
content is information about what our community members have asked about – or
they’ve already come up with the answers. Putting it together has been incredibly
inspiring,” said Charlie Devenish when the Guide went public.
Hello Charlie
Just wanted to say this Guide is great. I am new Manager here 3 months
ago, haven’t managed Volunteers for 12 years so this is very helpful for 2016
environment. I will definitely use this for the future.

VOLUNTEERING CONNECTIONS REACHING OUT
Volunteering in the Hutt Valley is
like the river flowing through the
valley. One volunteer’s action flows
out, connecting with others to greater
effect, and volunteers never know
where their actions will reach.
The varied amounts of time that
individuals make for Kaibosh, a food
redistribution agency, flows on to
the fourteen or so organisations that
share the food with those in need.
Arohanui Strings, based at a decile 1
school, is able to sustain its hungry
young musicians as they rehearse for
concerts such as those at Parliament or
with the National Orchestra. In turn
some of those musicians played at a
celebratory event at Kaibosh – a lovely
completion of the circle.
Similarly Earthlink runs an agency
focused on sustainability, salvaging
appliances and furniture left at the
landfill, repairing and on-selling
where possible, turning old uniforms
into new clothes, keeping cold
houses warm with recycled curtains,
working with the aid of mental health
consumers and volunteers. The
effects continue to flow out into the
community as many of the clients
become work ready through their
involvement with Earthlink.
Hutt volunteers offer support that
has a profound and far-reaching effect
on their community in ways they
might never have expected.
Katie Terris
Manager Volunteer Hutt
“Thanks so much Julie and Katie: I am a massive fan of your organisation and want
to thank you both for your hard work. I really enjoyed the collaboration between
our organisations. You certainly made things a lot easier and stress free than what
it would’ve been if we went out by ourselves! I look forward to doing more things
together and look forward to the funding workshop next month.”

The Spring Ball at Woburn Home
For teenager Lola Hall a highlight of
the Spring Ball was ‘dancing with
90-year-old Peggy, she was such a
character and could kick her legs just
as high as me!’
While balls may normally be
associated with teenagers, residents
at the Woburn Presbyterian Home
had a chance to re-live their youth on
22 October with a Spring Ball at their
residence.
The ball was a result of the
combined efforts of volunteers.
Residents initially suggested the
ball to manager Stewart Clark, who
wanted ideas for projects the Hutt
Valley High School Service Council
could help with. Jessica Kemp, a
volunteer employee from Mercer,
then met with the students to help
them to organise the event.
The ball was a huge success,
involving residents and many of
their family members, from spouses
through to grandchildren. The event
included beautiful music, finger food
and demonstration dancing – the
latter demo of old-time dancing was
provided by Ursula Curtis-Jelbert
from Greytown and her dancing
partner, John Wales of Upper
Hutt. This encouraged many of the
residents to join in the dancing.
Residents weren’t the only people
to benefit from the event. Hutt Valley
Able sailing
Happiness is … the Spring ball.
High Service Council members Deah
Nocete, Lucy Burton and Lola Hall all
had positive experiences organising
the event and found it inspiring.
‘Not only did I get to see the elderly
residents have fun, but I also got to
see what we can accomplish just
by working together… It was not
only some people helping – it was
Volunteer Hutt, the staff, the Home,
the students, the residents and the
residents’ families;’ reflected Deah
Nocete.
For student Lola Hall it is ‘events
like this that motivate me to continue
bringing small moments of happiness
to others, and remind me what an
impact small groups of people can
have on the community.’ story and photographs: lola hall
Don Manning (pictured right above)
has been interested in people with
disabilities since he was a schoolboy.
Back then, he wanted to get a friend
with cerebral palsy into a yacht and
teach him to sail. This wish came
true 37 years later when he set up
Sailability Wellington 13 years ago.
Sailability enables and encourages
people with disabilities to sail on
Wellington Harbour from Evans Bay
Yacht Club.
Don works with keen teams of
volunteers to get 136 Wellingtonians
with different disabilities, onto the
water four days a week weather
permitting.

will appear in our forthcoming
publication of Volume 4. Stories about
volunteers and volunteering. Also

There is a place for you to volunteer – the theme for National Volunteer Week 2015
resonated for this happy group of new migrants who recently received Volunteer Connect
Awards for new migrants. The awards were presented by Mayor Celia Wade-Brown at a
celebration attended by around 70 people at the Southern Cross Hotel.

The theme for National Volunteer
week 2015 was there’s a place for
you to volunteer. And at an event
organised by Volunteer Hutt that
week, The Dowse positively sparkled
with displays of photos and posters
from many local organisations that
find a place for volunteers.
More than 100 volunteers and
managers of volunteers from
throughout the Hutt Valley shared the
morning tea provided by the mayor,
networked and listened to inspiring
speakers – all with a passion for
volunteers and volunteering.
Mayor Ray Wallace, Annabel
White from Trade Aid and Don
Manning from Sailability energised
the audience with their enthusiasm,
helping volunteers value what they
themselves do. After the event the
display moved to War Memorial
Library stimulating more interest.

The first day I spent at the Porirua
office, learning my new job, I sat in
on an interview with an interesting
woman who mentioned in passing
that she didn’t feel justified accepting
the superannuation to which she
was entitled, as she didn’t need it. I
suggested that she could look at it
as an opportunity to control a small
portion of government spending, and
direct it towards purposes she thought
most appropriate.
Before I left the office that day, she
rang in to let me know she’d decided
to accept her superannuation and use
it to sponsor a group of children in
India. For me, this story is a perfect
illustration of what we do: supporting
A story about Joe Kahu, a past Porirua
Work and Income client whose
volunteering led to full-time employment,
catches Julia’s eye during her recent
introduction to Volunteer Porirua.
New and exciting volunteer
roles in Porirua community
We’ve had some great results from
a recent drive to connect with our
Porirua-based members.
These conversations have led
to the development of several new
and exciting volunteer roles in the
Porirua community. To date 80% of
our members in Porirua are actively
seeking volunteers and, at time of
writing, there were 494 roles on our
database at locations across the
Wellington region.
Visits
Member liaison visits are a great
way to develop your organisation’s
volunteer programme. They involve a
member of the Volunteer Wellington
team (including the Hutt and Porirua
offices) visiting you in your workplace
to talk about your volunteering
needs; and experience your work
environment.
Awareness of trends in the
volunteer workforce combined with
our knowledge of the community
sector, mean that we are well-placed
to support you to develop creative
and meaningful roles that are
beneficial to both your organisation
and the volunteers taking on the
work.
We can also provide advice on
recruitment, training and ongoing
effective management of volunteers.
Value
Our recent work with the Perinatal
Mental Health NZ Trust (PMHNZ
Trust) shows the value of using our
services. As a newly established
organisation Volunteer Porirua
was able to provide them with
templates to set up their volunteer
programme including a policy on
volunteers, a volunteer agreement, a
code of practice and an example of a
volunteer role description.
We then worked with the Chair,
Rosie Smith, to identify the work
they needed done and developed the
large list of tasks into four distinct
volunteer roles. Once these roles
were signed off by the board we
began recruiting volunteers to fill the
roles: within eight weeks more than
20 volunteer referrals were made
and two of the four vacancies have
been filled.
Rosie Smith, Chair of PMHNZ Trust
says: ‘The Volunteer Porirua team
were so helpful in helping us to identify
the roles we needed and then advising
us about the recruitment process
with lots of templates which we could
adapt to our organisation. We have
two enthusiastic volunteers who want
to give us the benefit of their skills
and time. I highly recommend them
(Volunteer Porirua).’
Extraordinary diversity
The launch of the fourth volume of
Once upon a time … stories about
volunteers and volunteering was
another inspiring happening at
Volunteer Wellington’s recent AGM.
The 34 profiles included in the
book cover the people ‘we all are’,
with a colourful overview emerging
of extraordinary diversity and the
impact of volunteering on our lives.

Volunteer Wellington for a copy to

programme; or

TALKING IN THE LIFT
‘Which floor are you going to?’ said the
man in the lift. I was arriving at work
at our new premises, 186 Willis Street,
soon after our October 2015 arrival.
‘Level 7,’ I said. ‘We’re Volunteer
Wellington – heard of us?’
‘No, what do you do?’ (Typical lift
conversation.)
‘We work with 400 community
organisations, offer training and
recruit volunteers from all over.’
‘Do you work with 20+-year-olds
who are unemployed and don’t know
what to do with themselves?’
‘All the time,’ I said talking as
quickly as possible – ‘lots of options – a
chat with one of our interviewers is
always interesting and leads to people
getting a feel of what’s out there in the
voluntary sector.’
‘Wonderful. I’ll tell my daughter
tonight.’
‘Here’s my card….’ I’d arrived at
my floor. And yes, she did come in

‘Take a bow’ Wellington

Celebrating International Volunteer
Day 2015 was a fitting way to break
in the newly refurbished Volunteer
Corner at Dixon and Victoria Streets.
Volunteer Wellington was there
when the corner was first developed
in 2001 and we returned to help plant
‘volunteer’ camellias when the space
was officially reopened in spring
this year, following the upgrade of
Victoria Street.
It was fantastic to partner with
ZEAL to host the first public event in
the new space. And what a success it
was! More than 120 people, including

Hema Water kept us all hydrated

lives of everyday Wellingtonians; and
of course the impact that volunteers
make in the daily life of Wellington!
We’ve heard it before, but

would Wellington be without our

I am reminded each day when I call
clients for follow up that the personal
stories they share with me and that the
clients I work with are so much more
than ‘letters of referral, statistics, job
placements, names on the database or
the many faceless unemployed’.
You see when I ring clients, I’m
sitting at my desk in front of my
computer at my job, but when I call
them, I ring in the middle of their
lives, and I never know what is going
to be happening on the end of that
phone. I have called to find people
on the way to Tangi, people who have
recently been touched by suicide,
people recovering from accidents and
illness and sometimes I just call in the
middle of life! – and life when you are
unemployed and on the poverty line
can be tough:
I called ‘D’ as a usual follow-up call
to see if he had managed to find a role
yet. He was so pleased to hear from
me. He happened to be in a car coming
back from Northland where he had
been stuck for a month because after
attending a deceased family member’s
unveiling, his car broke down. When
you’re poor and can’t pay for repairs
the garage keeps the car until you can
and during that time he had no money
to top up his phone. He was so pleased
we hadn’t given up on him and is keen
to finally be able to start volunteering.
Where does that positivity come
from?!
Then there’s ‘Al’, a 23-year-old

his amazing young working life. His
double degree and working experience
at Disneyland, his youth advocacy
work – all on hold as he learns to
process language all over again.
‘R’, a 20-year-old who, despite leaving
school two years ago with NCEA level
3, has never held a job. It turned out he
had volunteered some years ago with
St Johns as a youth mentor. When I
discovered these skills it was easy to
place him with a great volunteer role.
He now has renewed motivation to
find a sustainable career path.
I believe volunteering offers hope:
filling a gap on a resume, offering
a reason to get out of bed in the
morning, a chance to network, a
second chance, an opportunity to
get a reference, and a chance to feel
good about yourself – because you
connected and gave valuable support
today.
I tell all my clients to include their
volunteering role on their resumes
and add details of their new skills.
Lorraine had this to say when I said
this to her: ‘I know it is volunteering,
but really it’s work. What I do it’s a
job, I have no problem putting my
volunteering role and skills on my
resume – what I do it’s professional,
important and real’. Quite right!

of these roles are giving me great

my confidence was at rock
bottom but it is now starting to
go up up up.’
The benefits of volunteering
for the organisations are
obvious to most people, but
the benefits for the volunteers
are at least as great, and often
involve providing motivation,
satisfaction and a sense of selfworth to people who need it the
most.
PROFILE
Interacting with so many different people
Samantha Pardo is young, qualified
(she has a BA and diploma in
journalism), persuasive, energetic –
but at the time of this interview had
had no paid employment.
After too many rejection letters
and too many applications she
followed up on a suggestion to get
into volunteering work. ‘I’d never
really done any real work, just school
and then university. So I realized my
CV was way too short!’
When her search began through
Volunteer Wellington she was
surprised at the calibre of the roles
available. So her journey began to
build more flexible skills base…and a
longer CV.
She began with the Red Cross
doing data entry and general
administration. ‘It was great to be
busier and to be with a work team of
people who would shake me out of
feeling down and depressed.’
Now Samantha had the bit
between her teeth she wanted to be
still busier. Her next role was as an
events manager with Plunket. This
was occasional and on-call but when
on, the learning curve was huge, she
said.
Reception work with Greenstone
doors, a counselling service for
women, followed. ‘I felt so happy
when I began working here. There
was a very good vibe – such positive
energy. Plus I was honing up my
customer service and reception
ability.’
When she began interviewing
volunteer seekers at Volunteer
Wellington there was some lack
‘It was great to be busier and to be with a
work team of people who would shake me
out of feeling down and depressed.’
of confidence, a feeling of being
intimidated. ‘Some of the people I
was talking with were much older and
more experienced than me; and then
there were others at the opposite end
of the scale. I trained with another
interviewer, Anna Maria, for several
weeks and now I am not afraid to
interview on my own. I am building
up my confidence all the time as I
learn about interacting with so many
different people.’
In the course of this interviewing
role Samantha gave a talk to a group
of new migrants from an English
learning ‘pathways to work’ class who
were visiting Volunteer Wellington.
She was telling them about the
benefits of volunteering and the way
it was definitely a stepping stone to
employment. ‘That’s my goal too,’
she said. ‘My CV is so long now – I
know a job is just around the corner.’

It is one of those ‘bluebird days’,
we have had a lot of them lately in

over a period of 3 weeks.
I am meeting Jo Boyle who is
on the committee of the Makara

leading the multi-team project from
the community end) and Melissa
Middleton from ANZ (responsible for
the logistics in her workplace). They
have been a formidable team leading a
‘corporate blitz’.
Today they stand at the starting

slightly shocked by the scale of the
achievement.

renovating the volunteer spaces at the
Hospice. This standout project took
place between Mary Potter Hospice and
ACC. Five teams over the course of a
week transformed the volunteer spaces
at the Hospice. Lichelle Evans their
manager of volunteers said: ‘It took quite
a bit of planning to be ready for this group
but it was entirely worth it. One of the
best collaborative projects I have been
involved with.’
n Chorus at the Wellington Women’s
Boarding House. A plucky team from
Chorus spruced up the premises in a
whirlwind of activity. ‘The day was a
roaring success and everyone who came
from Chorus was brilliant,’ said Margaret
Speirs the Manager of the House.
n A Mega crew from OMD prepared
Central Park for Planting. A large team
from OMD took to the lower reaches of
the stream in Central Park. This was a
collaboration with Upstream: Friends of
Central Park to clear invasive weeds and
make way for winter planting.
n Huntleigh Home volunteer manager,
Gwen Esler put a special request
in this year for the same employee
volunteering team as last year to put
up the Christmas decorations.
Team leader Andrew Thrift and
his group were only too happy to say
“yes” to the project, getting to know
the residents and enjoying every
minute of decorating the main rooms.
“We did this project last year and
it was fun. It brings a bit of Christmas
cheer to the residents and workers,
as well as ourselves,” says Andrew.
Gwen was so pleased with the
efforts of the team of eight, she wants
them back in 2016. “It was their
attitude, friendliness and willingness
to come in for a second year, and
the efficient way the decorating was
organised that impressed me,” says
Gwen.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Trustees
Report on the Performance Report
We have audited the accompanying performance report
of Wellington Volunteer Centre on pages 9 to 23 which
comprises the entity information, the statement of service
performance, the statement of financial performance,
the statement of movements in equity and the statement
of cash flows for the year ended 31 March 2016, the
statement of financial position as at 31 March 2016, and
the notes to the performance report.
The Responsibility of the Trustees for the
Performance Report
The Trustees are responsible on behalf of the entity for:
a) Identifying outcomes and outputs, and quantifying the
outputs to the extent practicable, that are relevant,
reliable, comparable and understandable, to report in
the statement of service performance;
b) The preparation and fair presentation of the
performance report which comprises:
— The entity information;
— The statement of service performance; and
— The statement of financial performance, the
statement of financial position, the statement of
movements in equity, the statement of cash flows,
and the notes to the performance report;
in accordance with Public Benefit Entity Simple Format
Reporting – Accrual (Not-For-Profit) issued in New
Zealand by the New Zealand Accounting Standards
Board; and
c) For such internal control as the Trustees determine
is necessary to enable the preparation of the
performance report that is free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
performance report based on our audit. We conducted
our audit of the statement of financial performance,
the statement of financial position, the statement of
movements in equity, the statement of cash flows, and
the notes to the performance report in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand)
(ISAs (NZ)), and the audit of the entity information and
statement of service performance in accordance with
the International Standard on Assurance Engagements
(New Zealand) ISAE (NZ) 3000 (Revised). Those standards
require that we comply with ethical requirements
and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the performance report is free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit
evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
performance report, including performing procedures
to obtain evidence about and evaluating whether the
reported outcomes and outputs and quantification of the
outputs to the extent practicable, are relevant, reliable,
comparable and understandable.
The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the performance report,
whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation
of the performance report in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances,
but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.
An audit also includes, evaluating the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the performance
report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion. Other than in our capacity as auditor we have
no relationship with, or interests in, Wellington Volunteer
Centre.
Opinion
In our opinion:
a) The reported outcomes and outputs, and
quantification of the outputs to the extent practicable,
in the statement of service performance are suitable;
b) The performance report (available on the websites of
Volunteer Wellington www.volunteerwellington.nz and
the Charities Services www.charities.govt.nz) gives a
true and fair view of:
— The entity information for the year then ended;
— The service performance for the year then ended;
and
— The financial position of Wellington Volunteer Centre
as at 31 March 2016, and its financial performance,
movements in equity, and cash flows for the year
then ended
in accordance with Public Benefit Entity Simple Format
Reporting – Accrual (Not-For-Profit).

Notes to the Performance Report
1.General
Wellington Volunteer Centre (the
“entity”) is a charitable trust that
is domiciled in New Zealand and is
registered with the New Zealand
Charities Commission.
The entity’s principal activity
is championing volunteering and
building the capacity and capability
of communities in Greater Wellington.
During the year ended 31 March 2016,
there was no material change in the
nature of the entity’s principal activity.
This performance report was
authorised for issue by the trustees on
28 June 2016.
2. Statement of Accounting
Policies
The principal accounting policies
adopted in the preparation of the
performance report are set out below.
These policies have been consistently
applied to all the years presented,
unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation
The performance report has been
prepared under the historical cost
convention.
The entity has elected to apply
PBE SFR-A (NFP) Public Benefit Entity
Simple Format Reporting – Accrual
(Not-For-Profit) on the basis that it
does not have public accountability
and has total annual expenses of less
than $2,000,000. All transactions in the
performance report are reported using
the accrual basis of accounting.
The performance report is prepared
under the assumption that the
entity will continue to operate in the
foreseeable future.
The trustees believe that the basis
of preparation of the performance
report is appropriate and the entity
will be able to continue in operation
for at least 12 months from the date
of this statement. Accordingly, the
trustees believe that the classification
and carrying amounts of the assets and
liabilities as stated in the performance
report are appropriate.
Tier 2 PBE Accounting Standards
Applied
The entity has not adopted any Tier
2 PBE Accounting Standards in the
preparation of the performance report.
Changes in Accounting Policies
There have been no changes in the
entity’s accounting policies since the
prior financial year.
Comparative figures
Where necessary, comparative figures
have been adjusted to conform with
changes in presentation in the current
year. Where necessary, amounts
relating to prior years have been
reclassified to facilitate comparison
and to achieve consistency in
disclosure with current year amounts.
Goods and services tax
All amounts are shown exclusive of
Goods and Services Tax (GST), except
for receivables and payables which are
stated inclusive of GST.
Operating Leases
Where the entity is the lessee, the lease
rentals payable on operating leases are
recognised in the statement of financial
performance over the lease term.
Leases in which a significant portion
of the risks and rewards of ownership
are retained by the lessor are classified
as operating leases. Payments made
under operating leases are charged to
the statement of financial performance
on a straight-line basis over the lease
term.
amounts at year end. Bad debts are
written off during the year in which
they are identified.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are
stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation is calculated to
allocate an asset’s cost to its residual
value over its estimated useful life.
The residual values and useful lives
of assets are reviewed, and adjusted
if appropriate, at each balance sheet
date.
The following depreciation rates
have been adopted in line with those
permitted under the Income Tax Act
2007:
"" Furniture and Fittings: 10% to 19.2%
Diminishing Value
"" Computers and Equipment: 30% to
67% Diminishing Value
Gains and losses on disposal are
determined by comparing the proceeds
with the asset’s carrying amount.
These are included in the statement of
financial performance.
The entity is exempt from New Zealand
income tax because it is a registered
charity and has fully complied with
all statutory conditions for tax
exemptions.
These amounts represent liabilities
for goods and services provided to the
entity prior to the end of the financial
year and which are unpaid at the
reporting date.
Liabilities for wages and salaries
and annual leave are recognised and
measured as the amount unpaid at the
reporting date at current pay rates in
respect of employees’ services up to
that date.
Income in advance
Cash and cash equivalents comprise
cash on hand and at bank which are
stated at face value.
These amounts represent income
received during the financial year which
relate to the next financial year.
Donated services
Trade receivables are recognised and
carried at the original invoice amount
less any allowance for impairment
of these receivables. An allowance
for impairment of receivables is
established when there is objective
evidence that the amount will not be
collected according to the original
terms of receivables. This allowance
is based on a review of all outstanding
The entity is dependent on the
voluntary services of many volunteers.
Due to the difficulty in determining
value with sufficient reliability, donated
services are not recognised in the
performance report.
