Volunteering WA

We saw so many amazing celebrations take place during National Volunteer Week last week, but we want to give a special shoutout to the team from All Stars for Autism !

All Stars for Autism received a National Volunteer Week Grant from us to thank their volunteers. They created personalised volunteer thank you mugs as gifts for their volunteers, and thank you pictures to go with them, made by mentors and young children with autism.

Recognition goes a long way ❤️ Thank you to All Stars for Autism for getting involved in the celebrations!
