LiveBetter Community Services (formerly CareWest) marketing and public relations officer, Sim Madigan, thinks so.
From the ladies working in the canteen to the people organising some of the community’s biggest fundraising events – volunteers are everywhere.
More than 80 volunteers from different organisations gathered at Bolton Park to create a large V for volunteer for National Volunteer Week.
Mrs Madigan volunteers for her children’s soccer team and school committee.
“So many of us do it all the time without really classifying ourselves as volunteers,” she said.
“A lot of things wouldn’t happen without the help of volunteers.
“This is really about acknowledging the contribution they make to the community.”
