Camden Council is proud to announce the Volunteer Expo is returning for its second year.
This exciting event will take place on Saturday 30 August, 10am-2pm, at Julia Reserve Community Centre. The Expo offers a fantastic opportunity for the community to explore local volunteering opportunities and connect with volunteer-driven organisations in person - and will also have food trucks and face painting as an added bonus!
This year's event, which is proudly sponsored by NSW Resilience, will also highlight spontaneous volunteering and the vital role of community support in disaster relief and emergency situations.
Mayor of Camden, Cr Ashleigh Cagney, said this year's event would be bigger and better than the incredibly successful event of 2024.
"If you're looking for a way to contribute and give back to your local community but don't know where to start, this Expo is for you," she said.
"Come along to learn more about the various benefits of volunteering, as well as all the different ways you can get involved. There's a volunteering opportunity for everyone.
"It's no secret that we, at Council, believe those who volunteer are the backbone of our community. We have 327 volunteers registered with Council, whose dedication and hard work across areas like bushcare, libraries and reference groups has been truly immeasurable.
"I think the Camden area is the best place to live, work and visit. And when I think about all the great things this area has to offer, it's clear that it wouldn't be possible without their tireless work and fierce dedication to Camden.
"It would be an honour to add more people to this incredible team."
