National Volunteer Week is the largest celebration of volunteers and volunteerism in Australia, and provides an opportunity to highlight the role of volunteers in our communities and to say thank you to the more than 5 million Australians who volunteer.

To help organisations celebrate the contributions of their volunteers during this week, Volunteering Australia will provide some free promotional material, including an A3 poster, lapel pin and postcard.

Orders for items can be placed on the Volunteering Australia website (link) from 11am Tuesday 19 January. Ordering closes 16 February at 4pm and items should begin to arrive in early March.

There is a limited quantity of items available so make sure you get your order in before stocks run out!
