Volunteering WA welcomes the funding announcement from Volunteering Minister Hon. Don Punch MLA of $425,000 to help celebrate Western Australia’s incredible volunteers during ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Volunteer Week 2025.
Funded through Lotterywest, Volunteering WA will help recognise Western Australia’s 1.5 million volunteers through the 2025 ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Volunteer Week Grants program and raise awareness through the WA Volunteer of the Year Awards.
³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Volunteer Week will run from Monday 19 – Sunday 25 May 2025.
Volunteering WA CEO Tina Williams said Lotterywest’s support will go a long way in celebrating WA’s volunteers.
“Investment in volunteering is an investment in the WA community. Volunteers contribute so much to the social, cultural, economic, and environmental wellbeing of Western Australia, and it’s important we recognise them for their efforts. As a Major Supporter, Lotterywest will help Volunteering WA and volunteer involving organisations to properly thank volunteers for their exceptional work,” said Williams.
“This announcement aligns with our advocacy to increase State Government funding to recognise and celebrate volunteers. We thank the State Government and Lotterywest for this investment in volunteering.”
