IN HERVEY Bay, our volunteers truly are the unsung heroes, quietly shaping our community into a better, kinder place to live.
These selfless individuals dedicate their time, skills, and energy to causes they’re passionate about, whether in sports, health, business, social work, or countless other areas.
Please tag and recognise as many of the volunteers you know on our social media, because they deserve to be celebrated.
Their dedication forms the backbone of our community, and it’s time we celebrate them with the recognition they so richly deserve.
Our volunteers do so much more than just lend a helping hand—they educate, they care, and they advocate. They invest hours, often sacrificing personal time, to create a lasting positive impact.
Volunteering is the powerhouse of our community because it fosters connection, builds trust, and strengthens relationships. They create a vibrant, inclusive environment where everyone thrives, making Hervey Bay a better place for all.
Whether it’s coaching at the local sports club, assisting in healthcare, mentoring young people, supporting families in need, or organising community events, their contributions help to strengthen Hervey Bay’s unique community spirit. Volunteering doesn’t only benefit the people they serve; it creates ‘social capital’.
This is the value that comes from the trust, connections, and mutual respect within a community.
Through their work, volunteers help foster a deep sense of togetherness and a shared commitment to our community's values. It's through these connections that our community becomes resilient, vibrant, and a place where everyone feels they belong. In giving of themselves, volunteers also gain.
They build lasting relationships, learn from the people they work alongside, and experience the rewarding feeling of knowing they've made a difference.
They inspire us, and they remind us of the importance of showing up for one another.
To all our Hervey Bay volunteers, thank you. You bring strength, compassion, and joy to our community, and we are deeply grateful for all that you do.
Your work doesn't go unnoticed, and we're so proud to have you as part of Hervey Bay's heart.
