BP Vouchers for Volunteers

BP New Zealand has today launched the ‘BP Vouchers for Volunteers’ programme for 2007, inviting applications from volunteer organisations for thousands of BP fuel vouchers.

Managing Director Peter Griffiths said “Every day thousands of volunteers give up their spare time to help others who are less fortunate. These volunteers are an essential part of New Zealand society. We were overwhelmed with the number of applications received when we started this programme last year. Inspired by the applications and the huge success of the programme, we have decided to run it again this year. ”

“BP New Zealand recognises that high global fuel prices continue to have a big impact on volunteers who use vehicles to do their work. Through donating thousands of fuel vouchers to volunteer organizations that use vehicles, we can do our bit to help out,” he said.

Registered charities or volunteer organisations that rely on voluntary assistance and use vehicles are eligible to apply. For an application form and full eligibility criteria please visit www.bp.co.nz. Applications close on the 3rd of June.

Successful applicants will be advised by mail and in the Sunday Star Times on July 1st.

Mr Griffiths said “we are very pleased to again be able to say thank you to the many volunteers around the country who work long hours to help others in the community.”
