Role of volunteers recognised

Volunteering - it's been called the hidden backbone of Aotearoa.

Latest figures show more than half of New Zealanders volunteer in some capacity. The work is valued at $6.4 billion a year, and the contribution is being highlighted this week for Volunteer Week. 

Mark Weatherall is the Chief Executive of Life Education Trust New Zealand. He has over 25 years of experience leading and supporting volunteer-led organisations, seeing first-hand how volunteers shape our communities. Mark joins Jesse today.
