Peter Claman

Community Connector - Wellbeing & Youth

Peter was born and raised in Aotearoa. Having called Ōtepoti home for the last 25 years, he's passionate about helping our local community to grow and thrive. Prior to working for Volunteer South, he worked in public service - improving processes for vulnerable New Zealanders living with long-term mental and physical health conditions. He brings his experience, skills and care for people to Volunteer South's Supported Volunteering programme - walking alongside people who are struggling with social isolation and poor mental health.

Outside of Volunteer South, Peter is a keen musician - playing Trombone for various community groups ranging from Classical & Jazz to Reggae & Funk. Through his involvement in music he believes wholeheartedly that the things we volunteer to do are often the most fulfilling!
