Supporting Volunteer Resource Centres
The Office for Volunteers recognises the incredible contribution that volunteers make to our communities and continues to support volunteer resource centres across South Australia.
Resource centres provide referral services and valuable training for volunteers, and give much needed support to community organisations to enable volunteering to grow and flourish.
Over the past two years, a total of $200,000 in State Government funding has been made available to councils to help them set up volunteer resource centres in their local areas.

Adelaide Hills Volunteer Charter Launch
| The South Australian
Government provided a seed funding
grant of $15,000 to the Adelaide Hills and Mt Barker councils to establish local volunteer resource centres and develop a Volunteer Charter. The Adelaide Hills Volunteer Charter is significant as it acknowledges the importance of volunteering and outlines strategies to promote and facilitate its growth in the local and surrounding areas. |

The Hills Charter was launched at Mount Barker on Monday, 11 May 2009.
