National Volunteer Week

May 18, 2020

Today marks the start of National Volunteer Week, celebrating the generous contribution of the volunteering community around Australia. At Very Special Kids, we are immensely proud of the commitment and generosity we see everyday from our incredible volunteers.

This year’s National Volunteer Week theme is “Changing communities. Changing Lives”. The contribution every single volunteer makes to Very Special Kids does just that – supports the families and children we care for. Thank you to all our volunteers for your care, compassion, energy and kindness. It is truly appreciated.
