About

Volunteers are our modern heroes!

To function our community has to have volunteers; without them meals on wheels, school programs and political activity to name a few would virtually stop. Volunteers are today’s modern day heroes. They come from every race, creed and age performing small to overwhelming tasks, all with little or no recognition. Our magazine has two agenda’s firstly to recognise the great volunteer organisations and secondly to highlight the need for more volunteers. Everyone has a desire to assist others; we hope that one or more of our articles will peak your interest and you too will become another local hero!

The team at Community Volunteers Report are all dedicated to enriching the community by supplying information directly relating to the multitude of volunteer organisations and creating understanding for new volunteers to find their niche. The report is a full colour, e-magazine, which can be reprinted on demand and passed on to other interested parties with the aim of informing readers through entertaining articles. At present we have many previous editions available to view online.

In the latest edition of Community Volunteers Report we begin with a look at ‘Blood Donation - the gift of life’. What motivates people to donate their blood? Most blood donors are unpaid volunteers who donate blood for a community supply. Many donors donate for several reasons, such as a form of charity or helping a personal friend or relative. Despite the many reasons that people donate, not enough potential donors actively donate. Following on, we look at 'Youth Mentoring Volunteers'. Youth mentoring is the process of matching mentors with young people who need or want a caring, responsible adult in their lives. Adult mentors work as volunteers through a community, school, or church-based social service program. We also look at 'Prosocial Behaviour'; a social behaviour that benefits other people or society as a whole, such as volunteering, helping, sharing, donating and co-operating.
