Volunteer cheer

AS far as deserving a week-long celebration goes, few sections of the community deserve the honour more than our volunteers.

Without them, countless organisations would fall to the wayside and their overwhelming impact on the broader community should not be undersold.

This week’s edition shines a light on a couple of kind-hearted volunteers, but for every person recognised there are countless people whose work will go unheralded.

Show some love to the volunteers in your life not just this week but every week.

Their time is incredibly valuable and they have chosen to use it making your life easier.
