Volunteers’ week is the first week of June, this year it falls on Thursday, June 1 to Wednesday, June 7.
It is a time to celebrate and thank volunteers for their time, effort and service to the community.
As many of you know, across the Mansfield and Ashfield area, we have a strong volunteer base and have had throughout the years.
