Cadbury (Mondelēz) has announced it has extended its partnership with Netball New Zealand through to November 2024.
The chocolate company will continue to be an Official Partner of Netball NZ and the Cadbury Netball Series.
Extending its support into the volunteer community has been a key component to Cadbury’s partnership with NNZ since 2019, and Cadbury will continue to be the Official Partner of the NNZ Volunteer Programme and Volunteer of the Year Awards.
Over the past three years, Cadbury has been able to shine light on the generous volunteers within netball communities across the country, It’s focus over the next 18 months is to build awareness of the importance of volunteers in netball and to help recruit more volunteers into local clubs.
To support this initiative, Cadbury has launched a limited-edition range of chocolate blocks that feature six Kiwi sporting icons and moments, including former Silver Fern Irene van Dyk.
By scanning the QR code on the back of these packs, consumers can visit the Cadbury volunteer hub, which has been set up to attract more volunteers for local sports clubs.
Managing Director of Mondelēz New Zealand, Bevan Adin, said it was proud with what it had achieved with NNZ in recognising the large army of volunteers in netball.
“We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Netball New Zealand and continue to support the growth of the sport in our communities,” he said.
“We recognise there is always a need for volunteers, and we hope this partnership will help unearth more of these ‘gems’ throughout the country to help support netball at all levels.”
Jennie Wyllie, Netball NZ CEO, said Cadbury had played a key role in recent years in helping to raise the awareness of the work of a volunteer.
“Volunteers really are the unsung heroes in our sport, and we are excited to continue working with Cadbury to promote the importance of volunteers in Netball and to encourage more people to get involved in their local clubs,” she said.
Netball is one of the largest volunteer sports in the country, driven by pride in supporting the netball community, and Cadbury’s partnership with NNZ over the years has helped bring the work of volunteers into the spotlight, ensuring their generous time and contributions to the sport are recognised and valued.
