Happy National Volunteer Week - "Better Together"
Volunteering brings people together; it builds communities and creates a better society for everyone. National Volunteer Week is a chance for all of us to celebrate and recognise the vital work of volunteers and to say thank you. Together, through volunteering, we are changing communities for the better. We are, Better Together.

This year’s National Volunteer week theme is Better Together and in these disruptive and uncertain times volunteers certainly demonstrated this by playing a crucial role in keeping people connected and providing vital community services during the Covid-19 Pandemic, to people and animals in need today and into our future. Thousands of people each year access, and rely on, critical services run by Volunteer Involving Organisations some of these are large visible organisations and others are small, dedicated service and support groups run completely by volunteers. This year local organisations are saying thank you to their volunteers in a two-page spread in the Busselton Mail along with a City of Busselton initiative for community organisations to submit a short 30 second video representing their organisations and volunteers which will be hosted on the City’s web site and other Volunteer related media.
Volunteers add enormous benefit to our community through their exceptional and outstanding contribution of time, work skills, life experience, continued support and commitment.
We salute you and thank you for being our unsung hero’s
Happy National Volunteer Week to you all.
