Give a little, change a lot! Thank you, volunteers

National Volunteers Week (May 21-27) is the annual celebration to acknowledge the generous contribution of our nation’s volunteers. It is the largest celebration of volunteers in Australia and provides an opportunity to highlight their role in our community and to say thank you to the more than six million Australians who volunteer.
This year’s theme is “Give a little. Change a lot.”
Ipswich Police District is extremely proud of and grateful for its Volunteer in Policing program and currently has 15 Volunteers in Policing (VIPs) performing all types of community engagement and Crime Prevention Community educational activities across the Ipswich Police District. We are extremely grateful for all they do.
