Meet Our Volunteers: Bev ✨
For an incredible 30 years, Bev has been a valued GO volunteer, giving her time, kindness and dedication to our organisation. Even today, Bev continues to volunteer a couple of hours each week, working alongside her sister, Shirley, and her daughter, Tracey. One of the things Bev has loved most about volunteering with GO has been the opportunity to work alongside her family and share meaningful time together.
Bev’s connection with Goulburn Options began through her brother, Barry, who attended Goulburn Options. Sadly, Barry has since passed away, but his memory continues to inspire Bev.
Over the years, Bev has particularly enjoyed organizing donations, loved meeting customers, chatting with people and enjoying the social connection with fellow volunteers. These friendships and connections have been an important part of what has kept Bev coming back, year after year.
Bev’s philosophy has always been simple: “Always be kind to people.” It is a wonderful reflection of the way she approaches both volunteering and life.
A special part of Bev’s time in the shop has been working with her coordinator, Deb. Bev describes the shop as “a very nice environment to work in,” and it is clear that the people around her have made her volunteering experience all the more special.
After three decades of giving her time, Bev remains an important part of the GO family. Her loyalty, warmth and commitment are an inspiration, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she has contributed over the past 30 years.
Thank you, Bev, for 30 wonderful years of volunteering and for reminding us that a little kindness can make a very big difference.
