Please apply and contribute.

The Centre needs more volunteers to help it in its many functions.

We are looking for two types of volunteer.

Those that we can call on for one-off working bees, particular projects and events.

We also require ongoing volunteers who can commit to 4-5 hours on one day per week.  These volunteers would help support the day to day running of the Centre including coordinating our Volunteer staff.

For more information, please contact
coordinator@nelsonwomenscentre.org.nz
or phone 03 546 7986

Long standing Collective Body Member Elena Meredith will resign from her position

at the end of this year.  Elena has contributed enormously to the Centre for many years. Her departure will leave a big gap and she will be greatly missed.
 
The Centre is now looking for new members to who can bring skills and 
enthusiasm to help support the Centre in all its current and future endeavours.

Please contact the Centre if you would be interested.
