NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK 2023

National Volunteer Week (NVW) is Australia’s largest annual celebration of volunteering and will be held this week. The week-long event recognises the vital support that the millions of volunteers in our country provide to their communities and encourages people to consider volunteering. National Volunteer Week 2023 is a celebration of our power to drive change and ensure volunteering is inclusive of all members of the Australian community.

National Volunteer Week is our time to celebrate Australia’s almost 3 million sport volunteers, recognise them as our change makers and raise awareness of the role they play. Without volunteers, Australian sport wouldn’t exist. Volunteers are the backbone of local sporting clubs, freely contributing their time and knowledge for the benefit of their sport as well as the participants, their families and the local community. At its heart, volunteering is about helping others.

Here at Table Tennis Australia, we want to acknowledge and thank the countless numbers of volunteers that have built our sport to where it is today, and continue to be the backbone of Table Tennis in Australia as we continue on the path to Brisbane 2032. Each day this week we will take time to acknowledge a volunteer from each State/Territory via our social media channels, so keep an eye out. Be sure to thank a volunteer this week for the work they do to enrich your sport and your club. And if you're one of our many dedicated volunteers, we say THANK YOU!
