Nelson Environment Centre

The Mayor's Morning Tea was hosted last week (16th June, 2026) for National Volunteer Week, hosted by Volunteer Nelson.

We had a number of our volunteers represented, including from Kai Rescue, EWaste and our ReUse shops.

Mayor Nick Smith spoke to the volunteers to thank them for their efforts.

A massive thank you to our 70+ volunteers - we couldn't do our mahi without them!

This group of amazing people represent a tiny tip of the iceberg of 1000s of volunteers who give of their time to help others in our Nelson Tasman region - our community truly would not function without you!
