How incredible it was last week, to learn more about some of the amazing young volunteers across our region! 👏 Thank you to The Beacon Truck - Tamworth for sharing this story and to McCarthy Catholic College for supporting and inspiring the next generation of community volunteers.💙

Volunteering is a value best learned young. 🧡

This Youth Volunteer Week, we want to give a special shout-out to the wonderful students from McCarthy Catholic College, Tamworth, who join us every month to volunteer at The Beacon Truck.

They don’t just come along to watch. They roll up their sleeves, help serve, talk with people and become part of what happens here each Wednesday night.

And that’s why youth volunteering matters.

When young people are given opportunities to serve their community, they’re learning things that can’t always be taught in a classroom — empathy, respect, gratitude, responsibility and the importance of looking out for others.

We want volunteering to become something young people grow up with. Not something they feel they have to do, but simply part of who they are and how our community works.

Because today’s young volunteers will become tomorrow’s parents, leaders, employers and community members.

A big thank you to the McCarthy students who continue to show up for The Beacon Truck each month. We love having you with us, and we’re proud to see the next generation already giving back. 🧡

Start young. Give back. Build a culture of kindness.

💡Reminder 💡 Your volunteering counts! When completing your Census, remember to tick Yes✅ to Question 53 if you've volunteered in the last 12 months.

Did you know the Australian 2026 Census asks about volunteering?

If you've volunteered for an organisation in the past 12 months, your answer matters.

✔️ It helps build a clearer picture of volunteering in Australia.
✔️ It strengthens the evidence for advocacy, investment and support.
✔️ It helps ensure volunteering is recognised and valued.

When you complete your Census, look for Question 53 and tick Yes if you've volunteered in the past 12 months. (Exclusions apply.)
