National Volunteer Week

25 May 2024

Huge thanks to all the volunteers! Their work helps keep society going. It's amazing to think even emergency services in many rural areas are volunteers (firefighters, rescue brigades, ambulance).

Volunteering at school, going on excursions being available has always been so useful.

Keep it up everyone!
