Volunteers thanked on international day

Some of Noosa’s hundreds of volunteers came together last Friday to celebrate International Volunteer’s Day.

Hosted by Noosa Council the event was held to thank volunteers for their work.

From emergency services to service clubs, teachers, mentors, wildlife rescuers and carers their efforts are vital to the community.

Among the attendees were Noosa Tourist Information Centre volunteers Carole and Geraldine who spoke of the friendships they had made and the enjoyment they gained from volunteering.

“It’s one of the nicest things I’ve ever done,” Geraldine said.

“It’s a very pleasant atmosphere. They’re a lovely group of people.”

Others said they enjoyed giving back to the community and were enriched by the experience.
