What goes around…

Ten individuals’ stories about the difference volunteering in Community Houses & Adult Learning Centres has made to their lives.

Experience the transformative power of volunteering with this inspiring collection of individual stories. As the Founding Patron of Greatconnections, the author passionately advocates for the mutual benefits that volunteering offers to both individuals and organisations. Without the generosity of volunteers, many vital community resources would not be possible.

Within these pages, you’ll discover the numerous personal and professional growth opportunities that volunteering at a Neighbourhood House can provide. From committee or management roles to engaging in various programs and activities, the stories within this booklet showcase the profound impact of volunteering on wellbeing and personal development.

Greatconnections, an agency that connects professional and executive mature-age volunteers with not-for-profit organisations, has facilitated these remarkable experiences. By sharing the real-life journeys of volunteers, this collection offers a genuine understanding of the health and wellbeing benefits of giving back to the community.
