National Volunteer Week Celebrating our awesome volunteers at HepSA
I
n May we celebrated National Volunteer Week (20–26 May) with some of our awesome volunteers. Fred, Debra, Kath and Dean each received a Premier’s Certificate of recognition for their outstanding volunteer service, and a certificate of appreciation for their continuing contribution and dedication with Hepatitis SA. A small COVID-safe gathering of staff cheered them as they opened gifts: small tokens of our sincere gratitude. They each received a mug with the HepSA logo on one side and, on the other side, an arrow pointing toward the person’s face, with the text, “This is what an awesome volunteer looks like!”. Since its inception as the Hepatitis C Council of South Australia, Hepatitis SA has relied on its volunteers in order to survive and thrive, and they provide vital support staffing our Helpline, distributing resources, and helping at information stalls and events. To our volunteers, Hepatitis SA would like to say that we literally couldn’t manage without you. Thank you from all of us. v
