Southern Downs Regional Council invites volunteers from across the region to a free morning tea to celebrate your commitment to serving our community.

National Volunteer Week is Australia’s largest annual celebration of volunteers.

Established in 1989, National Volunteer Week is the premier celebration of volunteers and volunteerism in Australia. In recognition of the vital role volunteers play in making the Southern Downs a great place to live, work, play and stay, Council is hosting FREE morning teas in Warwick and Stanthorpe.

This special event is an opportunity to highlight the important role of volunteers in our community and invites people not currently volunteering to give it a go. This year’s National Volunteer Week theme is ‘Something for Everyone’ highlighting that there’s a place for everyone in the world of volunteering. We invite everyone to explore the vast array of opportunities. Whether you’re drawn to environmental causes, community welfare, education, sport or beyond, there’s a place where your unique skills and interests can flourish.

If you would like to attend either of Council's FREE thank you morning teas for Southern Downs volunteers, please register by Thursday 16 May 2024. To register, contact Council’s Community Development Team at commdev@sdrc.qld.gov.au or on 1300 697 372 with your name, phone number, email address, organisation you volunteer with, and whether you would like to attend the event in Warwick or Stanthorpe.
