Did you know that National Volunteer Week is coming up in May? This year we celebrate 30 years of National Volunteer Week, and the theme is “ Making a World of Difference”.

May 20 – 26 is a great opportunity to recognise all the amazing volunteers that help make our theatre community tick. Whether it’s your committee members, FOH staff, crew, costume team or anyone else (don’t forget your performers are donating their time and talent too!) why not take this chance to say a special thank you!

The Volunteering Australia website (www.volunteeringaustralia.org) has a great selection of free templates you can use to make certificates and posters, or even shop their volunteer merch for thank you gifts (pins, keep cups etc). However, never underestimate the value of a simple “thank you”!!
