Nga mihi o te wa, a, nau mai ki tenei putanga mutunga o CorrVolunteer mo te tau 2011.
Seasons greetings and welcome to this final issue of CorrVolunteer for 2011.
It was International Volunteer Day on 5 December, an important day to acknowledge volunteers in all parts of the community. I trust that you were able to attend some of the events that were organised to celebrate this day.
It is wonderful to see that the APPE System has now been implemented nationally. This is a significant step forward. I would like to thank you all for your part in making the implementation of this system a success.
At this time of year the faith-based volunteering that many of you are actively involved in is particularly important and very much appreciated. We could not provide these services without you.
Looking forward to 2012, we will be exploring how we can work with you all more effectively to maximise your efforts to support offenders’ rehabilitation and reintegration back into the community.
Again, our grateful thanks to you from the senior management team. Have an enjoyable and safe festive season.
He mihi ano tenei na nga kaiwhakahaere matua. Kia harakoakoa, kia taumaru a koutou haerenga i enei ra whakata o te tau.
Alison Thom, General Manager, Rehabilitation and Reintegration Services
