A big ‘thank you’ to our community’s greatest workforce

VOLUNTEERS are often the driving force behind rural communities and none more so than in Glenelg Shire, where hundreds of hands have gone up over the past two years to help fellow residents through the tough times of the pandemic. That volunteerism has been toasted at a series of receptions across the shire, including right here in Casterton. Photo: KRISTY MCDONALD

AUSTRALIA’S biggest workforce has no single job description and every day, it does everything from scrubbing toilets to leading choirs in song – without being paid a single cent.

It is our volunteer community and its Casterton area members were recognised for their efforts during celebrations of National Volunteer Week.
