Did you know that red is considered the colour of volunteering? This is because it represents action, passion and safety! Red often serves as a highly visible symbol of help, protection and community service.

So, a big red THANK YOU to all our CMT Australia volunteers. You keep our spirits high and our organisation going!

Happy National Volunteers Week, 18 - 24 May.
