‘Live, laugh, share – volunteer’ is the theme this year, which helps capture the heart-felt appreciation we feel when people come together to build stronger, more vibrant communities through volunteering.
Part of this week, you can volunteer for conservation and become part of an active community. If you only have 15 minutes to spare, you can plant a native tree, pull out pesky weeds or pick up rubbish on the beach.
With more time, you could try out as a hut warden, become a shorebird minder or participate in a bird survey. Volunteering offers the chance to go somewhere different and meet new people.
