National Volunteer Week 19-25 May 2025

National Volunteer Week is an annual celebration to acknowledge the generous contribution of our nation’s volunteers. In 2025 National Volunteer Week will be held from 19-25 May. The theme in 2025 is ‘Connecting Communities’.

The week-long event recognises the vital support that the millions of volunteers in our country provide to their communities and encourages people to consider volunteering. National Volunteer Week 2025 is a celebration of the diverse passions and talents everyone brings to volunteering.

Renmark Paringa Council recognises and acknowledges the contribution volunteers make in our community and encourages community members to nominate people in the Renmark Paringa Council area.

Celebrating Volunteers Event 21 May 2025

Renmark Paringa Council will host its annual Volunteer Recognition Event at Hotel Renmark's Function Room on Wednesday 21 May. Those who have been nominated will be invited to the function and be presented with a certificate of appreciation from Mayor Peter Hunter in recognition of their contribution to volunteering in the community.
