Celebrating volunteers across the Glenelg Shire

Calling all volunteers in the Glenelg Shire, you are invited to help celebrate National Volunteer Week as part of events being held this month.

Volunteer Recognition Receptions will take place in Heywood, Casterton, Portland and Nelson during May 15 – May 21 to officially celebrate the role of volunteers in the Glenelg Shire.

Mayor Cr Scott Martin said the Volunteer Recognition Receptions events are an important chance to recognise the “lifeblood of our local community”.

“Volunteers play a vital role, lending their time and talents, for no reward or remuneration, to support, encourage and enhance the lives of others in the community,” he said.

“This year’s national theme is the ‘Change Makers’, which is a perfectly fitting way to recognise the impact of volunteering, and how those involved can really drive change within their communities.

“These Recognition Receptions will recognise the many coaches, canteen volunteers, gardeners, meals-onwheels deliverers, ground keepers, raffle ticket sellers and more who keep our community thriving.

“With guest speakers and live music, I look forward to seeing a number of new and familiar faces as we take this opportunity to officially recognise and celebrate our local volunteers across the Shire.”

Volunteer Recognition Receptions will be held at the following locations:
