Volunteering Involving Organisations

Volunteer Recognition Evening 2022

The Volunteer Recognition Evening event is held annually during the National Volunteer Week (NRW) in May.

The event aims to recognise and celebrate dedicated volunteers who give their time, passion, and expertise to our community. The City recognises and appreciates the commitment and hard work that our volunteers contribute to making our community stronger, which has been particularly evident during COVID-19. Volunteers are the heart of our community and we want to recognise them and let them know we truly appreciate them.

All Rockingham community groups, not-for-profit organisations, sporting clubs, and any other organisations working with volunteers were invited to nominate one volunteer who is worthy of recognition. Nominations closed Monday 4 April.

The Volunteer Recognition Evening event was held on Thursday 19 May with 40 nominated volunteers formally acknowledged on the night. The individual efforts of volunteers in our community makes the City a better place for all of us. Thank you to the volunteers and those who took the time to nominate.
