Burdekin Shire Council proudly recognises the invaluable contributions of volunteers across the region during National Volunteers Week.
A time dedicated to reflect and appreciate everything volunteers do for our community.
Burdekin is home to a multitude of organisations that thrive thanks to the dedication of volunteers. With an abundance of volunteer opportunities around the Burdekin, volunteers can find their niche and contribute to meaningful work that resonates with their personal values and the needs of the community.
Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort encourages everyone to get involved and experience the rewards of volunteering.
“Our volunteers are the backbone of the Burdekin, playing a crucial role in making our community a better place to live, work and play,” Cr Dalle Cort said.
“From supporting local non-profits to organising community events and providing essential services, volunteers demonstrate the spirit of generosity and community that we cherish. The selfless contribution of many people enhances the vibrancy of organisations and sporting clubs across the region.
“National Volunteers Week is not only a time to celebrate their efforts but also to inspire others to join in and make a difference.
“The Burdekin community needs you - without volunteers, many of our communities’ essential services simply wouldn’t be possible.
“It is essential to instil the values of service and community involvement in our youth. By volunteering, they not only help others but also gain valuable skills and experiences that will benefit them throughout their lives.
“To all the volunteers in Burdekin, thank you. Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and your work has a lasting impact on the lives of so many. We are incredibly grateful for your dedication and the positive difference you make every day. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to achieve so much of what makes the Burdekin a wonderful place to live.”
