National Volunteer Week, Australia’s largest annual celebration of volunteering, was proudly recognised by Frankston City Council with a Volunteer Celebration Afternoon Tea at Functions by the Bay, Frankston.
The event acknowledged and thanked the incredible volunteers whose time, dedication, and talents help create stronger, more connected communities. National Volunteer Week is an important opportunity to recognise the millions of volunteers across Australia who make a meaningful difference every day.
The celebration was attended by the Mayor of Frankston City Council, Council CEO, Councillors, Council staff, and special guest speaker, The Hon. Milton Dick MP, Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Mr Dick shared a national perspective on the importance of volunteerism and the vital role volunteers play in building strong, resilient communities. His insights helped make the afternoon both memorable and meaningful.
The event also provided a wonderful opportunity for volunteers to relax, connect with fellow volunteers and community leaders, and be recognised for the invaluable contribution they make in supporting the Frankston community.
