Podcasts about national volunteers week

National Volunteers Week runs from 19th to 25th May each year. It celebrates the important contributions volunteers make to Australian society. However, the number of volunteers in Australia has been in decline in recent years, prompting calls for the government to provide more support for those offering their time and skills for free. - Ang National Volunteers Week ay pinagdiriwang mula Mayo 19 hanggang Mayo 25. Sa kabila ng mahalagng papel na ginagampanan, ang bilang ng mga boluntaryo sa Australia ay bumaba sa mga nakaraang taon, kaya't marami ang nananawagan sa pamahalaan na magbigay ng karagdagang suporta sa mga taong naglalaan ng kanilang oras at kakayahan nang walang bayad.

In honor of it being National Volunteers Week, today we're talking to Cindy Hession - scientist by day, hiker and volunteer chair for the 48 Peaks Hike to End Alzheimer's every other waking moment she can manage!Cindy and I talk about her love affair with the White Mountains and hiking, her personal connection with Alzheimer's, and how the 48 Peaks fundraiser grew out of one man's devotion to his wife. Her enthusiasm and dedication to this event will pour through your earbuds and make it obvious why Cindy was recognized with a national award earlier this year for her volunteerism.To lend my support to Cindy AND the 48 Peaks initiative, I have started a fundraising team called Guides Gone Wildcats, and we are going to hike Wildcat A (and D on the way there, for all you peak-baggers!) If you want to join me on this epic hike, or support our team's fundraising efforts with a donation of literally any amount, you can do both over on our Guides Gone Wildcats Team Page: http://act.alz.org/goto/guidesgonewildcats. Let's DO THIS!I hope you'll hang with us until the end on this episode, because I've got a special offer for the Longest Day 48 Peakers out there, too!But first, a few key links:Alzheimers Association - alz.org - 24/7 Helpline: 1-800-272-390048 Peaks - A Longest Day EventLongest Day FundraiserNewsCenter Maine feature on 48 PeaksGuides Gone Wildcats Team PageRekLis Brewing Celebration (Bethlehem, NH) - June 8th, 2024AND - what would a podcast about hiking be without TONS of great hiking links (and even more over on our episode page at GuidesGoneWild.com!):Mt.

At the heart of Brightlife Cheshire are our people. The people who we reach out to, the people who we support through funding and the people who believe in our ethos to tackle loneliness in our local communities. But the folk who are also extraordinary in our eyes are those who give up their time freely - the volunteers. To mark National Volunteers Week 2019, we've collected a handful of their stories to show you the many routes into volunteering, and perhaps if you're thinking of it - what to expect. All seven share their moments of surprise, shock and laughter - plus reveal what impact just giving just a few hours a week has had on their own lives as a result.
