GENEROSITY IN A TIME OF RECESSION

This will be the theme of a “Communities of Interest” meeting being hosted by the Generosity Hub in Wellington on Friday 19 June. A major national event for Volunteer Awareness Week, it will report on the Hub’s work to grow the level of giving in all its forms – giving time (volunteering), money, in kind and random acts of kindness.

Those invited include those who participated in the meeting in November 2007 which agreed to the Promoting Generosity initative and those who have since expressed interest in the Hub's work.

The Hon Minister Tariana Turia will be the guest speaker. Inspirational stories of generosity will be told reflecting this time when all sectors are being hit hard by the current economic downturn. Members of the Hub will talk about the personal impact promoting generosity has had on them and present what they have done to date and their plans to for the Hub’s work in 2009/2010.
