Behind the scenes of every small town in New Zealand, there’s an army of volunteers and workers who keep the wheels turning.

In Taupō there are over 70 different organisations dedicated to helping people with different aspects of their lives – whether that’s budgeting services, health support groups, youth workers, drug and alcohol counsellors or those offering relationship advice.

The Taupō Council of Social Services is the ‘glue’ that connects these different groups together. Since 1993 they have hosted monthly networking meetings and provided the chance for people to collaborate within their own areas of interest.
