We wanted to start this week’s column off by wishing all the best to the kids of the district as they embark on a new school year and congratulating all the parents and caregivers for surviving the summer holidays!
Is there anyone else out there pondering the swift passage of January? We had envisioned a leisurely transition into 2025. However, it seems that plan has been swept aside, and now we find ourselves racing into February, slightly frazzled, yet we remain ever ready to greet you with a warm smile at the Centre.
This week, we had an opportunity to speak on ABC Radio about volunteering. Volunteering is a remarkable endeavour that brings countless benefits, not only to those who dedicate their time and skills but also to the organisations and clubs they support.
Did you know that the vast majority of activities that the Centre offers to our Burdekin community are facilitated by amazing local volunteers? Our social inclusion and support programming would not be possible without them. Empowering community members to share their talents and knowledge is at the core of our mission, and it makes for a great day to see the positive impact we can create together!
The Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre is also run by a volunteer management committee. Currently, we are actively seeking enthusiastic individuals to join our team, particularly in the roles of secretary and vice-treasurer. If you possess a community-minded spirit and are comfortable navigating the digital landscape, we would love to hear from you.
We encourage those community members who are willing to think independently, strategically, and ethically to consider joining our governance committee. We need strong advocates to champion the needs of both the centre and our vibrant community. Your unique perspectives and individual life experiences are invaluable and play a crucial role in ensuring our services remain relevant and impactful.
The Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre is known for its positive and friendly attitude to both people and services. We pride ourselves on being community builders rather than just service providers, fostering a true sense of belonging. We believe in collaborating with people, not merely working for them, and we are genuinely excited about the wonderful accomplishments that can emerge when we unite with our Burdekin community.
If you are thinking that volunteering might be for you, don’t hesitate to come into the Centre and have a chat with us.
Until next time,
The Team at Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre
