National Volunteer Week is an annual celebration to acknowledge the generous contribution of our nation’s volunteers. This week (May 8-14) we will be profiling some of the hardworking people who share their expertise and time in voluntary roles across Centacare services.

We have volunteers working in a number of programs. Tomorrow we will celebrate their commitment and drive at our annual Volunteers Dinner at the Buckingham Arms Hotel, Gilberton.

From cooking lovely lunches to gardening, computer training, teaching English, and supporting young people and adults in reaching their full potential, Centacare volunteers play a crucial role.

If you would like to follow their lead, the first step is to talk with our Volunteer Coordinator, Vicki Giacomin.

We will explore your options and support you to achieve your volunteering goals. All volunteers complete a National Police Check before commencing at Centacare.

For more information please phone Vicki on 8252 2311.

*This year’s National Volunteer Week (NVW) theme, Give Happy, Live Happy, continues to highlight and explore the research that shows volunteers live happier and healthier lives. For more information, follow the #NVW2017 hashtag on social media and visit the NVW website.
