However, technology is helping to lower many of these barriers.

2. Volunteers give their skills, time and life
experiences to benefit their community in many
different ways. From helping in emergencies to
delivering meals to the elderly, our community
would be a poorer place without them.
Community groups, and the volunteers that
work for them, make a positive difference in the
community and the more support they have the
bigger the difference they make.
Volunteering Warrnambool helps:
Volunteers
People who want to volunteer
Groups and organisations that use
volunteers
People and groups that serve the community
Volunteering Warrnambool supports the
volunteers and organisations who look after
others.
It’s the least we can do!
