Volunteering has something for everyone in the community and during this years’ National Volunteer Week (May 20-26), more people are being encouraged to give volunteering a go.
As the country’s largest annual celebration of volunteering, National Volunteer Week is a chance to explore the many options available, to recognise the possibilities volunteering holds and realise that volunteering really does have ‘Something for everyone’, which is this year’s event theme.
Gippsland Lakes Complete Health (GLCH) has a range of volunteering opportunities for people just like you across Meals on Wheels delivery, helping staff prepare and run social support groups, caring for school gardens as part of the popular Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Scheme, even reading fun and exciting stories to children in an educational setting.
