Our Area Councils

Our Area Councils lead, coordinate and nurture our organisation and our humanitarian activities across Aotearoa New Zealand. Area Councillors support Red Cross people in their Area, helping to motivate, inspire, and empower them to carry out their humanitarian work. 

Our Area Councils:

• work to develop and retain a strong membership base in their Area
• should be as representative of their Area as possible
• support branches, groups, and individual members, as well as local employees
• enhance the profile of New Zealand Red Cross in their Area
• along with local Red Cross people, lead the planning of New Zealand Red Cross activities in their Area
• protect the integrity of New Zealand Red Cross in their Area by ensuing members follow the Fundamental Principles, New Zealand Red Cross Values, Code of Conduct and relevant policies and procedures.
