Being a part of The Network means you are a part of a collaborative group with access to information about charitable organisations and community activities in the Eastern Bay of Plenty.
EBOP ORGANISATIONS: As an Eastern Bay of Plenty charitable organisation you will have the opportunity to showcase what you do and how the community can support your efforts. You will also have access to bespoke support services, as you need them. Whether you are looking for volunteers, need help with marketing, strategic planning, project management or fundraising...we have the tools and networks to help.
COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS: Charitable organisations struggle to find enough local volunteers to support the various areas they need help with. More and more people can no longer be available for long term volunteering commitments. However, community minded people are still wanting to provide some level of support to the charities that do great things in our region. With that in mind, we are building a network of volunteers available to support local organisations on a 'as needed' basis. As a Community Volunteer you can choose how you volunteer based on your own interests, skills and time commitments. You do not have to become a long term volunteer for one organisation for a set amount of time. And, if you are providing financial or professional support that does not require hands-on volunteering, you can even remain anonymous to the organisation that you are helping.
BUSINESSES: As a business you can show your support for local charitable initiatives by getting involved as a volunteer team, providing financial or product support, or specialist volunteering for one-off projects for one or more of our members, we will work with you to create a bespoke charitable support plan with you.
