Your News Vol.6

From the CEO

I’m happy to share great news to start the new financial year! Volunteering Gold Coast has received an extension for Volunteer Support Services funding from the Department of Social Services. This allows us to expand our volunteering services on the Gold Coast.

Following on from National Volunteer Week, we were thrilled to let everyone know that five more lucky volunteers with the Classic Heroes volunteer awards. These volunteers were presented with a week's worth of accommodation each to celebrate their great work in the community. Classic Holidays has been very generous in providing 15 volunteers with holidays in the last few months. Watch out for more information regarding Classic Heroes and how volunteers can receive these fabulous holidays.
