ComVoices is an independent network of Tangata Whenua and leading national community and voluntary organisations set up to promote and make visible the enormous contribution of the community and voluntary sector to New Zealand society. Our primary aim is to ensure the sector has a powerful and collaborative voice in the community and at Government level.
ComVoices was launched as a collaborative project in July 2005 to raise the community & voluntary sector's profile.
Our coalition is made up of national organisations that reach across all New Zealand society, and the individual organisations all communicate their views and issues to the group.
We work together through reflecting and promoting the value and common concerns of the sector through information, advocacy and dialogue as well as encourageing regional, national and cross-sector networking and information sharing.
Each year we form an annual work plan, communications plan and budget. These are reviewed six monthly.
ComVoices is made up of the following 26 national organisations (just click on the links to learn more about them):
