National Volunteer Week 2010 Theme Announced

Volunteering Australia (VA) has announced the theme for National Volunteer Week, 10-16 May 2010 - Volunteering: Now, more than ever

VA says this theme really brings volunteering to the forefront and provides a focussed agenda for the volunteer sector.

It says it will raise the profile of volunteering and highlight that volunteering, now, more than ever, is important to Australian society and the contribution of all volunteers must be recognised.

VA says this theme can be used by groups to recruit - 'Now more than ever we need you' - or recognise and thank - 'Now more than ever we recognise and value our volunteers' - and it will provide organisations with key messages and ideas from which they can use the theme in the coming months.
