Volunteer Policy
Introduction
Many people give their time freely and willingly to help Badminton Hutt Valley (BHV) reach its goals by providing human resources along with new and fresh ideas to the organisation. BHV fosters further education and sharing of experiences with new volunteers and appreciates the hard work of volunteers within the organisation.
We recognise and value the work of our volunteers and provide the support that is needed and have created a ‘Hutt Valley Badminton Volunteer Plan’.
