National Volunteer Week Events
There is a huge amount happening throughout WA during National Volunteer Week (NVW). We know there are over half a million volunteers throughout WA who give to the community. Here are brief details of just some of the wonderful things organisations are doing to say thank you to their volunteers and to promote volunteering in general through the week. We hope everyone attending the events has a wonderful time. For more info on NVW click here.
For more information or contact details for any of the events listed for media purposes please contact Jen at VWA on 9482 4333.
