National Volunteers Week- Last Week May 18 to 24th 2026
Thought we’d extend our thanks to the many volunteers in and around Rutherglen. There’s a couple of hundred of you at the least covering many diverse roles, functions and much needed contributions. These very contributions make Rutherglen such a special place to live and visit. They save local government, our local council, money and resources because volunteers contribute much willingly.
Last week, National Volunteers Week was signified by council through lighting up the Beechworth Precinct and publicising it digitally.
We’d like to give a more personal and connective thank you to each and every individual and group that volunteers tirelessly in and around the Rutherglen area. We work with some of you and your dedication and help in sharing your skills with other groups and volunteers is amazing.
A town icon resonates more with the specific town its volunteers contribute towards. So here’s our grand old bottle tipping its lid to you all as a sign of respect and appreciation for the many hours of dedication and commitment you put in year in and out.
Thank you - volunteers are gold!
