Celebrating the Heart of Burnie Brae
National Volunteers Week

For more than 40 years, our volunteers have been the heartbeat of our community, spreading warmth, kindness and friendship wherever they go. Whether they’re lending an ear, giving a hand or sharing their talents, they embody the spirit of generosity and service that makes Burnie Brae special.

From leading activities and workshops to providing transportation and
support, our volunteers go above and beyond, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to making a positive impact. Their dedication to fostering connections, promoting inclusivity and spreading happiness is truly inspiring, and we are profoundly grateful for the energy and enthusiasm they bring to Burnie Brae every single day.

This year’s theme, “Give a little. Change a lot,” perfectly encapsulates the impact of our volunteers, whose small acts of kindness ripple out to create meaningful change for everyone around them. So, here’s to our amazing volunteers—thank you for everything you do, today and every day.

During Volunteers Week, many of our volunteers joined us for a delightful morning tea, sharing their passion for helping others.

"I enjoy connecting with people, having meaningful conversations, and positively impacting lives in any way I can." – Linda, Concierge

"I always return home with a sense of accomplishment, knowing I've made a difference in my community." – Robyn, Project Pantry

"Volunteering provides purpose, especially in caring for older individuals. I see it as paying it forward for the future." – Terry, Project Pantry

“I like the tenacity of the people you are teaching. They come in sometimes not knowing anything, so I will ask, show me what you can do! Sometimes I even learn something! The technology lessons boosts people’s confidence with technology, which makes me feel good!” – Denise, Tech Tutor

If you’re interested in volunteering with our transport, café, nursery, events and other areas, we’d love to hear from you!
