Every day, Coeliac New Zealand provides support, advice, and advocacy for Kiwis with coeliac disease. As a small organisation, Coeliac New Zealand relies on wonderful volunteers who give up their time to support people living with coeliac disease.
Volunteering is a great way to grow your connections, share knowledge and experience with others, and give back to the only not-for-profit organisation supporting Kiwis with coeliac disease. There are multiple opportunities for you to get involved with Coeliac New Zealand. Discover how you can help below!
Zoe Huggett is a busy mum and accountant living in Wanaka and is the Coeliac NZ Kids Club Coordinator for an area that covers Central Otago (Queenstown, Wanaka, Alexandra, Cromwell, Hawea, Luggate). Zoe has an 11-year-old daughter with coeliac disease and something Zoe loves about volunteering is that she had support from various people when her daughter was first diagnosed, which she was very appreciative of, so she likes to give back and help others in the same way.
