Winter is here but that’s no reason to go into hibernation. There’s still so much happening around our state this weekend, whatever the weather.

VOLUNTEERS CALL OUT

Volunteering SA&NT, the peak body for volunteering in South Australia, is calling for South Australians to put up their hand to volunteer. With the pandemic leaving a shortage of volunteers to undertake essential work in the community, organisations are struggling to re-engage or recruit volunteers. If you have ever thought about volunteering, now is the time to do it. There are hundreds of positions available with some great organisations.
