It’s National Volunteer Week and we want to thank all our volunteers who make our sport possible by giving a big;

3 Cheers for Volunteers!

Volunteering is at the heart of our sport sector. Sport teams, clubs and organisations across the country rely on volunteers to run their programs. They coach, referee, manage teams, cook barbecues, write grants, keep score, fill water bottles, wash uniforms and much, much more.

Volunteering in sport is vital for the success of all sport, from large nationally focused events right through to community clubs. It provides an opportunity for the diverse members of the community to come together, support each other and feel connected. There is truly Something for Everyone in sport volunteering.

We would like to thank all of our Cardinia Shire sporting club volunteers for what you contribute to the community to ensure people have the opportunity to stay healthy and active by participating at your club. This week why not post on your socials and acknowledge your club volunteers. Don’t forget to tag @ASC (Australian Sports Commission) and add the #3CheersForVolunteers to be part of their national campaign and get your club noticed. Ensure your club knows about the free volunteering tools and information available don’t forget to visit the Sport Volunteer Resource Hub.
