To kickstart volunteers’ week, we thought we would delve into the archives for some volunteer snaps of the past.

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.

Check out these 13 photos of volunteers from our archives. Do you recognise anyone?
