Give Back in Gil! National Volunteer Week 2025

As part of National Volunteer Week, held this week from 19-25 May, Gilgandra Shire Council (GSC) celebrated our #LocalLegend volunteers and community groups with a morning tea and information session in recognition of the incredible contributions volunteers make to our community every day. This event was an opportunity for those interested in volunteering to chat with invaluable pillars of our community and learn how to get involved.
Whether you have a spare few hours in your week or you’re interested in meeting new people, volunteering in any form or capacity is a great opportunity to give back. The community groups and organisations that attended the event, and are currently looking for volunteers, include:
