This National Volunteer Week, Lifeline is shining a light on its volunteers and the critical role they play in giving thousands of people across Australia hope and connection around the clock each and every day.
Lifeline Loddon Mallee EO, Lisa Renato says the Bendigo and Sunraysia Centres continued to experience high demand for their services, highlighting the impact of local volunteers donating their time, skills, and expertise to support Lifeline.
“This week, we are taking the time to thank and recognise each one of our volunteers who is making a meaningful impact on the lives of others – from our Crisis Supporters on the phone, to our retail workers at the Thrift Store” said Lisa.
“Those at the frontlines of crisis support demonstrate extraordinary empathy and generosity, listening without judgment and providing care and assistance to help seekers at their darkest hours.”
You can phone Lifeline to speak to a Crisis Supporter on 13 11 14, text 0477 131 114, or go to www.lifeline.org.au
All services are available 24/7.
