SUMMARY:How does your region keep its volunteer heart strong?
DESCRIPTION:Volunteering has always held regional communities together. But the way people volunteer is changing\, and the organisations that depend on it need to change with them. Has your region already figured this out? \n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a national conversation on volunteering.\n\n\n  \nInspiring this Challenge \n\n\n\nVolunteering is not a nice-to-have in regional communities. It is the operating system. Events\, emergency services\, aged care\, sport\, governance: all of it runs on volunteers. \nBut the pool is changing. New residents don’t always find it easy to find their way in. Many community groups find it hard to attract younger members\, lifestyles and the cost of living don’t always permit time for volunteering\, and the same small group of experienced people is carrying governance loads across multiple organisations\, with compliance and red tape adding to the weight. \nThe organisations that find ways to welcome new volunteers while sustaining the ones they have are doing something that’s worth sharing. \n\nMore information \nRegister here
