This week marks a very special time of year for our organisation and the wider community, as we celebrate National Volunteer Week!

The theme for this year is 'Better Together' - volunteering brings people together, building communities and creating a better society for everyone.

Together, through Volunteering, we are changing communities for the better. We are, Better Together.

We would like to express our gratitude to all volunteers. This includes our own Co.As.It. (SA) volunteers, those assisting across the wider Italian community and all other volunteers nationally for the assistance they provide.

We understand as well as anyone, that without the constant support and hard work undertaken by all volunteers, we would not be able to achieve so much across all of our communities.

From the bottom of our hearts and particularly through these recent times, we want all volunteers to feel valued for the work that they do and to understand that they are greatly appreciated.

Our organisation is great because of the contributions of many volunteers in the past, now and in the future.

A huge thank you to you all, we truly are better together.
Once again, from us to you, Happy National Volunteer Week!
