As National Volunteer Week comes to a close, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to every member, volunteer and local who gives their time to Wonthaggi Life Saving Club and our wider community.

From patrollers, trainers, age managers, water safety, kiosk volunteers, BBQ helpers, committee members and those working behind the scenes, your time, energy and commitment are what make our club possible.

This week is also about recognising the incredible volunteers across schools, sporting clubs, emergency services, community groups and local organisations who help keep our town connected, supported and thriving.

Volunteers are the heart of communities like ours. The people who show up, lend a hand and make a difference without asking for anything in return.

To every volunteer, thank you. Our community is stronger because of you.

Thank you for being the difference.

Today we’re celebrating the legends behind the BBQ.

From nippers and club programs to community events, fundraisers and special days, our BBQ helpers are always there firing up the BBQ, serving smiles and helping bring people together.

More than just cooking a snag, these volunteers create connection, support our programs and help make so many club activities possible.

Thank you for your time, teamwork and all the behind the scenes effort that keeps our events running.

Thank you for being the difference.
