About Us
Dedicated Staff and Volunteers Serve You
Renata Lehmann has set up Volunteering Hawkes Bay in September 2006. She recognised that a 'one stop shop' was needed and with help of then 12 other volunteer centres and the local community provided an opportunity for volunteers and the non-profit sector.

In March 2012, Renata won the BUPA Community Worker Of the Year Award |
Karen Leslie was employed 2 years later as the numbers of volunteers and organisations increased. An administrator was needed to serve you quickly and efficiently.
