🌟 National Volunteer Week | 18–24 May 2026
This week we celebrate the incredible people who give their time, energy and heart to make our communities stronger. Whether you volunteer at your local footy club, community garden, crisis service or somewhere in between - thank you. We’re lucky to have some amazing volunteers right here on our doorstep at the Hope Op Shop - Victoria Park in Victoria Park, whose dedication supports the community through recycling and rehoming second-hand goods. I’ve also picked up my fair share of great finds in there over the years.
Volunteers create connection, purpose, and belonging and Western Australia is home to thousands of them.
The Cook Labor Government's WA Volunteer Service Awards recognise individuals who have dedicated years of service to our communities. Since 2012, more than 4,000 Western Australians have been honoured for their extraordinary contributions.
2026 is the United Nations International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development, and National Volunteer Week this year carries a special message: make 2026 your year to volunteer.
