Survey

In recent years agencies engaged in the provision of social and voluntary welfare services in Aotearoa/ New Zealand have been gaining a greater profile that recognises the scale and contribution of the not-for-profit sector.

For instance earlier this year Statistics New Zealand released figures that confirmed there were 97,000 non-profit organisations operating in New Zealand in 2005, employing 105,000 paid employees and supported by more than 430,000 volunteers. A non-profit institution is defined as being organised, not set up to make a profit, not distributing profits, separate from government, self-governing and having voluntary membership.

The Collaborative Voices programme is an initiative of the New Zealand Council of Social Services (NZCOSS) and New Zealand Federation of Voluntary Welfare Organisations (NZFVWO), as a way of informing the sector about topical issues.

The principle behind Collaborative Voices is to profile the sector in a way that actively demonstrates how organisations are working together collaboratively.

The programme is presented by Ros Rice, NZCOSS, and Michael Woodcock, NZFVWO.

Ros and Michael both have experience in community radio broadcasting and are based in Wellington. They will be interviewing people either connected to or involved with the social services and community sector.

As well as interviews the programme will feature news about developments in the sector, notices about relevant events and informative segments about a wide range of organisations active in the sector.

Collaborative Voices will be replayed on by all eleven Access stations throughout the country.
