Do you want to support people to live free from violence?

Aviva has an array of volunteering opportunities for events, fundraising and admin support. Support work is done entirely through our trained clinicians, so we are unable to offer volunteering opportunities for work with clients.

Please follow Aviva’s Facebook page and join our Newsletter Mailing list below to keep up to date on upcoming volunteer opportunities or send an expression of interest to ✉community@aviva.org.nz.

 

Collect for the Annual Street Appeal

The Aviva Street Appeal is scheduled for Friday 22 and Saturday 23 May.

Collect donations for 1-2 hours at your local supermarket or mall. Volunteer individually or gather a group to collect throughout the day. We are currently taking group bookings at community@aviva.org.nz. Check back for the individual sign-up sheet.

All funds raised will support Aviva's family and sexual violence services.

Collectors need to be able to:

• Collect for at least one hour on either a Friday or Saturday
• Transport themselves to and from their assigned collection site
• Return their collections to Aviva or a designated return site within one week of the Appeal
• Answer basic questions on Aviva services (training and information sheets available upon request)
• Be friendly and personable while representing Aviva

We have collection sites available in Christchurch, Waimakariri and Selwyn from 9am-6pm on both days. See our full site list for 2026 [PDF, 39KB].

 

Administrative Support

We have a number of one-off admin tasks that require extra support. If you have a few hours to give here and there, this could be a great option for you.

Possible tasks include:

• envelope stuffing for our biannual newsletter mailout (typically around April and November)
• bucket stuffing leading up to our Annual Street Appeal (typically late April/early May)
• picking up and sorting in-kind donations
