The recent Sport NZ publication Value of Sport has provided valuable insight into the WHY for volunteering.

Close to 1 million kiwis volunteer in sport and recreation each year

35% of volunteers state their reasons for volunteering is to contribute to their community

78% of volunteers agreed that the volunteering provides them with learning and development opportunities

June 17-23 is National Volunteer Week and Sport Bay of Plenty is hosting our annual Volunteer Breakfasts across the Bay of Plenty.

Local sports clubs and schools are invited to register their volunteers as a way to say a big thank you to those who dedicate their time to the sport they love.

The breakfasts are a chance to meet other volunteers in the community, hear about the current climate of volunteering in the Bay and win spot prizes! There will also be a guest speaker in attendance.

Cooked breakfast is $15 per person (to be paid for by the club or school).
