Every 4th Monday, at 11:30am
COLLABORATIVE VOICES is a 30min bulletin compiled in Wellington by the NZ Council of Social Services (NZCOSS) together with the NZ Federation of Voluntary and Welfare Organisations (NZFVWO). It focuses on various areas of the social-services sector - by discussing legislation, specific organisations, information-updates, and interviews.
This programme aims to profile the social-services sector in a way that actively demonstrates how organisations are working together collaboratively.
Collaborative Voices is presented by Ros Rice (NZCOSS) and Michael Woodcock (NZFVWO). Ros and Michael both have experience in community radio broadcasting and are based in Wellington.
