Volunteering
Tweed Shire Council values the contribution of volunteers. Many council services would not operate so successfully without the commitment of people dedicating their time, energy and knowledge.
As well as making a difference to the lives of others and the land we live on, volunteering allows people to develop skills, create new social networks, meet like-minded people and be actively engaged in the community. Volunteering empowers individuals, enhances organisations and strengthens communities.
