25.01.2022 Did you know that volunteering is associated with better overall physical and emotional health outcomes compared to those who don't?

17.01.2022 It’s Workforce Wednesday! On Wednesdays we showcase the amazing individuals we are lucky to have as part of the VSA&NT workforce. This week we are getting to know Hayley Thiele, who Regional Coordinator based in Port Augusta. She also supports the Marketing and Communications team with social media. ... What do you enjoy the most about working at VSA&NT? VSA&NT is an inclusive, flexible and wonderful place to work, I feel very lucky to be part of the organisation and love that I get to work in regional communities where volunteering is so important for ongoing sustainability. It’s nice when you feel like your work can make a difference. What do you enjoy about your own volunteering roles? Pre-COVID, I helped to facilitate a small playgroup at one of the aged care facilities in my home town. I would take my 3 young daughters there every fortnight and we all loved it. The residents would share stories of their own children, colour in, play with playdough and sing songs with the kids; it was just beautiful. The staff and residents were always so grateful that we took the time to do this whereas really I am thankful to them for the experience. I can’t wait to be able to do this again. What do you do when you aren’t at work? I run a small business, enjoy camping, hiking and exploring with my little family. If you had to eat one type of food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Mexican! The guacamole, the sour cream, the corn the chips. Everything about it!

12.01.2022 During October 2020 we were one of the selected charities of Grill'd Marion’s for their Local Matter’s Program. Each month, every Grill’d restaurant donates to 3 different local community groups, which are each represented by a jar. With every purchase, Grill’d provides customers with a token which they are then asked to place in a jar of their choice. The group with the most amount of tokens in their jar at the end of the month receives a donation of $300, and the other two..., $100 each. This photo is Grill’d Marion’s assistant manager, Chris, presenting our accountant and local Marion resident, Rebecca Zoomis, with a cheque for $100 as a runner up . We look forward to being selected as a Grill’d Marion Local Matter’s Program charity again in 2021! #heretohelp #volunteeringmatters #volunteeringisfun #communitysupport #worktogether #industryexperts #volunteerwork #SAvolunteer #volunteerism #volunteering #southaustralia #sagreat #cuinthent #northernterritory #notforprofit #volunteernt #VolunteerManagement #bethegood #volunteersmatter #volunteerwork #northernterritoryaustralia #whydoyouvolunteer #togetherwecan #togetherthroughvolunteering

09.01.2022 In World War 1 over 416,000 men and women enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF). 34,959 South Australian's were part of this total. In World War 2 there were 433,101 volunteers, this time 54,660 and 1049 from the Northern Territory*. All of these men and women were volunteers. To put this in perspective, the seating capacity in Adelaide oval is 53,500, the South Australian numbers alone could fill the oval almost twice. We remember all Australian's who have fallen ...in all wars and armed conflicts everyday however today we pause for a minute of silence to reflect on their bravery, their sacrifice and determination showed by these courageous men and women. We will remember them.
