Magic Moments

Recently we celebrated National Volunteer week and the team from IHC, a member organisation we have had a long standing relationship with, came for a visit bringing chocolate fish, pineapple lumps and pastries. You understand we welcomed them with open arms ;) and coffee!!

We had a great catch up, exchanging information on processes, their volunteer needs etc, and the comment was ‘We are desperate for men on the North Shore!’. It sounded humorous but considering the need this is true for many organisations. Having just done the annual stats we know that the majority of the Volunteers that we see are women, 69.57% in fact, 30.43% are men.

How can we get more men of all ages volunteering? Any thoughts and special stories?
