Welcome
One week every year we get to stand up and sing and shout about how incredible our volunteers and our volunteering community are, and sing and shout we did during this year’s National Volunteer Week (Monday 21 to Sunday 28 May).
Thank you to those who organised volunteer recognition activities and celebrations for their volunteers. Every event, every thank you, every social media like and share helped to showcase the efforts of the wonderful volunteers in our community.
As Tasmania’s Peak body for volunteering, we were had one of the best seats in the house to meet and listen to some incredible stories of generosity, including those who were recognised at the Southern Cross Television Tasmanian Volunteering Awards held at Government House on Monday, 21 May. Congratulations to Les Williams from Huntington’s Disease Association Tasmania for being acknowledged as the Premier’s Volunteer of the Year, and to all the finalists and volunteers nominated.
The Southern Cross Television Tasmanian Volunteering Awards are made possible through the support of the Tasmanian Government, Southern Cross Television and a number of valued sponsors. These include Anglicare Tasmania, Bulk Nutrients, CatholicCare Tasmania, Hydro Tasmania, Lifeline Tasmania, NRM South, TasTAFE and the Tourism Industry Council Tasmania. Tasmanian organisations supporting Tasmanian volunteers and we thank them sincerely for their support.
Finally, to the volunteers. Tassie would stop without you. It’s as simple as that. Thank you for all that you do.
Yours in volunteering,
Alison Lai
Chief Executive Officer
