Thank you to our volunteers!

Let’s hear it for our Volunteers! 14-20th June is National Volunteer week, and we want to celebrate and thank all the amazing people in our community who volunteer for Diabetes New Zealand. As a charity we simply couldn’t run all the services that we do without the help of these amazing individuals who dedicate their time and energy into volunteering for us.

From those that help at our Diabetes Youth camps and events – to the volunteers who run support groups around the country – to the office administration helpers – we thank and appreciate them.

We’ve pulled together some of the stories behind our wonderful volunteers. Read more about what motivates them to volunteer, and what they find rewarding.
