Hundreds of volunteers to gather in the Top End for National Volunteer Week 2024

Lions Australia < 1 mins read

Community service has never been more important.  Hundreds of volunteers will come together in Darwin during National Volunteer Week for the Lions Australia National Convention.
 
National Volunteer Week is held from 20–26 May.  The Lions National Convention will be held between 24–27 May.
 
Some Lions are on a mission to cure childhood cancer and diabetes, others are committed to assisting those impacted by drought and floods, and many are simply working together to help people in need in their local community.  One thing all Lions have in common is together they are making an incredible difference.
 
Lions Clubs promote youth and provide community service, medical research, and disaster relief.  Since the first club was formed in Lismore in 1947, Lions Australia has grown to be the largest service club organisation in Australia, with over 25,000 volunteers.  Now, Lions Australia has set a goal of 30,000 members by 2030 and 50,000 members by 2050.

The Salvation Army Letter to the Editor

16 June 2025 The Salvation Army Letter to the Editor Dear Editor, I am constantly amazed by the ability of Australians to come together when it matters most. We have seen it countless times in our history as a nation, during times of national crisis, natural disaster, financial unrest and so much more. Aussies know how to come together and help out a mate. As The Salvation Army, we have also seen this time and time again.

Kelly O’Shanassy to wrap up more than a decade as CEO of the Australian Conservation Foundation

Following more than a decade of outstanding service at the helm of Australia’s national environment organisation, trailblazing leader Kelly O’Shanassy has announced she will step down as CEO of the Australian Conservation Foundation at the end of 2025. “It’s been an honour to lead this powerhouse organisation and serve Australians who love nature and want climate action. It’s a hard decision to step away — but unlike solar and wind, CEO energy is not renewable, and it’s time for a break. “I leave knowing we have created so much impact for nature and people. Together we’ve protected ancient forests from…
