East Coast Volunteers acknowledged in Ruatoria

13 July 2024

Volunteers enjoying lunch at the Ruatoria RSA

We hit the 35 on Tuesday 9th July, destination Ruatoria for the Big Shout Out lunch, in recognition and acknowledgement of our Tairāwhiti volunteers!
It was a great turnout including volunteers from fire brigades and local rugby clubs and many more who freely give their time for their community.

Huge thanks to Aunty Katherine (who also is a keen volunteer) at the Ruatoria RSA who not only delivered on the epic kai but spread the word throughout the community!

Also a huge mihi to everyone who helped out on Tuesday. Your mahi was massive❤️

To all our volunteers, the whole length and breadth of Te Tairāwhiti, ngā mihi nui!
We see that giving back is just the done thing on the Coast and your love for your community is palpable.

Thank you for having us!
We’ll see you all again soon.

Ruby, Trina and the GVC Team
