Wave Your Appreciation For Our Aussie Volunteers This National Volunteer Week

The past months have definitely tested our Australian spirit as we've collectively dealt with an onslaught of natural disasters and a global pandemic. Bushfires, ongoing drought conditions, floods, and the coronavirus have caused Aussies to band together and lend a helping hand to one another like never before. 

National Volunteer Week gives us the opportunity each year to take the time to acknowledge the contribution of volunteers around the country.

This National Volunteer Week, beginning May 18th, Volunteering Australia is calling on all Aussies to wave their appreciation to volunteers.

"We invite you to put your hand up and thank all the volunteers around Australia by waving a special smile of appreciation from your own home."

This morning, CEO of The Centre for Volunteering NSW, Gemma Rygate, joined Bronte & Sam to talk about the significance of this week and provide you with more information about what kind of work their volunteers do, and how you can sign up!
