Volunteer Month 2026

During May, Council celebrated volunteers through a Volunteer Month “Spotlight and Support” campaign, aligned with National Volunteer Week (18–24 May). The campaign will highlight local groups, recognise the contribution of volunteers, and promote opportunities for more people to get involved.

Explore the wide variety of volunteer opportunities available below.

  • What is aim of Volunteer Month?

    To support local volunteer organisations by:

    • Publicly acknowledging the contribution of volunteers
    • Raising awareness of what volunteers groups do
