Multiples Bay of Plenty

Multiples Bay of Plenty is a non-profit, completely volunteer-run organisation, which provides support and services throughout the Bay of Plenty – including Tauranga, Mt Maunganui, Whakatane, Waihi, Katikati, Rotorua and everywhere in between.

Our charity has proudly supported families with twins, triplets and higher‑order multiples for over 25 years. During this time, the number of families welcoming multiples has continued to grow, increasing the need for strong, connected community support. Our mission is to ensure all families with multiples have access to information, practical resources, emotional support and meaningful opportunities to build relationships with others on the same journey. We achieve this through regular playgroups for all ages, events, online and social media forums, and by providing assistance in many forms as needs arise, alongside ongoing support and partnership with families throughout their lives with multiples. This vital work is only possible because of the dedication of volunteers, who are the backbone of our organisation.

At present, we have some key volunteer roles vacant as we approach the AGM in May 2026. Many of our volunteers have generously given their time for years, often while their children were young, and as their families grow and circumstances change, they are now needing to adjust their availability. Filling these roles is essential to ensuring we can continue to deliver and grow the services our community relies on.

• Communications & Marketing Coordinator – Oversees the charity’s marketing, communications and online presence, including social media, website updates, promotional materials and awareness campaigns to keep members and the wider community informed and engaged.

• Events Coordinator – Plans and delivers the charity’s events and fundraisers throughout the year, coordinating volunteers, promotions and communications to create engaging and successful experiences for members and supporters.
• Equipment Coordinator – Manages the sourcing, lending, maintenance and tracking of all equipment items, working closely with families and the Support Coordinator to ensure practical needs are met efficiently.
• Support Coordinator – Acts as the first point of contact for families needing support, coordinating practical assistance, equipment and referrals while maintaining strong communication with members and the committee.
• Website & Technology Coordinator – Manages the charity’s website, domains and digital tools, ensuring systems run smoothly, information stays up to date, and technology supports both members and the committee effectively.
