In pictures: Harvey Senior Citizens celebrate ‘Better Together’ volunteer week

Dozens of volunteers united in Harvey last month to celebrate their achievements for National Volunteer Week at the Harvey Senior Citizens Centre. Following the theme “Better Together” the Centre houses 83 volunteers for its Meals on Wheels service, with president Brian Kealley said the annual celebration is a way to acknowledge the generous contribution volunteers make to their communities. “Volunteering brings people together; it builds communities and creates a better society,” he said. “We (the Senior Citizens Centre) only have two paid employees, the cook and a part time cleaner, all other duties are performed by volunteers — this makes the service a truly community project with community looking after community.” The event was jointly funded by from Lotterywest and Volunteering WA, with Volunteer Week spanning between the May 16 and 22.
