VOLUNTEER REPORT
Who’s it for? Volunteers are integral to the success of the St Vincent de Paul Society Tasmania. From preparing meals and assisting in our retail shops, to supporting housing services and community programs visiting the streets through our soup vans, their dedication ensures the Society can reach people in need across every corner of the state. How We Help In 2024–25, around 920 volunteers contributed their time, energy and compassion to the Society’s work. Their efforts span a range of services, from Vinnies Van and Loui’s Van services (307 volunteers) to Retail Stores (489 volunteers) and Dining with Friends (44 volunteers). Volunteers also play vital roles across administration teams, Bethlehem House, Amelie House, Marillac House and Youth Programs, with many assisting across multiple areas. The Society proudly champions the work and impact of 15 supported volunteers, ensuring people of all abilities can contribute meaningfully and experience the connection, purpose and pride that comes with volunteering.
