The theme this year is Give a Little to Change a Lot, and Tamworth Regional Council Volunteer Coordinator Veronica Filby said it can mean just that.
“We are focussing on the benefits of volunteering for all ages,” she said.

This Thursday will see Tamworth’s Volunteer of the Year announced, as well as several other awards during an awards ceremony at the Community Centre starting at 10am.
