Encouraging personal service is one of the three objectives of Inner Wheel. As members of Inner Wheel, we make a significant contribution to our communities, both by giving our time and fundraising to make financial donations. Up and down New Zealand, Inner Wheel Clubs support charities to thrive. Each Club decides the charities they want to support. In 2022-2023, we supported 220 different charities. We also have a national Service Project, Look Good Feel Better and we often work together on projects of mutual interest to Clubs. |

| Inner Wheel supports Look Good Feel Better through Members contributing their time preparing lunches and laundry, as well as fundraising.
Free Feel Better Classes are for anyone undergoing treatment for any type of cancer at any stage. It’s time away from the world of diagnosis and treatment to help face cancer with confidence, feel stronger and live better. |
| Clubs are helping to provide sanitary products in schools, community centres and places in need through many communities in New Zealand as well as supporting the actions of these two charities. |

| IWNZ Members are invited by the IIW Past President Ebe Martines to participate in an International Inner Wheel Campaign for awareness of Cervical Cancer. Clubs around the world are encouraged to launch projects that will STOP CERVICAL CANCER among women and girls. Worldwide, cervical cancer is the 4th most common cancer. Mortality is high due mainly to diagnosis at the late stages of the disease, as well as the frequently unavailable, inaccessible, or unaffordable treatment. Yet, cervical cancer is the only cancer that is preventable with early detection through screening and HPV vaccination. Read More |
