Buloke Shire encourages more volunteers to do their bit through new program

Delivered by Make a Change, 'Buloke, celebrating great people doing great things', is a new initiative to raise awareness, introduce new ideas, expand existing programs, create new outcomes, and invite broader participation in the region.

"Buloke is recognised as having one of the highest number of active volunteers per capita of all the shires in Victoria because our community cares about each other - it is something we are immensely proud of," mayor Daryl Warren said.

"Our residents understand volunteering is more than doing good deeds and keeping connected - it is etched into our social fabric and we are well known for it.

"I encourage all of our community groups to get involved in this program, as it is designed to support them and look at new ways of engaging residents in their projects."

All residents, businesses and organisations are invited to take part and it is all for the benefit of residents, neighbourhoods, towns, and the whole community.

Those already involved in local groups and actively contributing, are encouraged to take part as well as those thinking about ideas for new projects, or who are simply curious to know more.
