VOLLIES OF THE WEST is a collection of volunteer stories from Melbourne’s western metropolitan region. This initiative by Volunteer West aims to celebrate and promote volunteers and volunteerism through real-life stories of volunteers and their experience with volunteering. These stories will be shared on Volunteer West’s website and social media platforms. Participants will only be identified by their preferred names in the stories and no other contact details will be shared. Participation is entirely voluntary, and participants may opt to withdraw their stories at any point by contacting Volunteer West.
