National Volunteer Week
National Volunteer Week (18 to 24 May 2020) is an annual celebration to acknowledge the generous contribution of our nation’s volunteers. This year’s theme is: Changing Communities. Changing Lives.
To acknowledge the efforts of volunteers who support the local community, the City of Bayswater is offering a small grant to encourage, and assist local community organisations to recognise their volunteers in line with National Volunteer Week
For more information on the Volunteer Recognition Grant, including details on how to apply, visit the Volunteer Recognition Grant page.
Make a difference in your community
Volunteers are a vital part of any community, selflessly giving their time to help make the places they live better for everyone.
Not only can you make a positive difference in the lives of others by becoming a volunteer, you can also make a positive difference in your own life. Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, give you a new purpose, add to your CV, gain new skills or experience and help you connect with your community.

Is there any assistance for volunteers? We run a professional volunteer management program to provide support for all of our volunteers. Through the program, all volunteers receive:
- full inductions
- insurance if appropriate
- training and development opportunities
- reimbursement of any expenses incurred while volunteering
We also celebrate the selfless contribution of our many volunteers at our annual end of year event. THis is a chance for volunteers to meet, socialise and for us to say thank you for all of the time and energy our volunteers put towards making Bayswater a better place.
We currently have volunteers working in the following programs:
- community bus hire program
- English language conversation group
