Volunteer Appreciation Week Celebrations Celebrations have been in full swing across the district to celebrate National Volunteers Appreciation Week, Australia’s largest annual celebration of volunteers. Awards ceremonies were held at Royal North Shore and Ryde hospitals to mark the important week and acknowledge the district’s incredible volunteers. The week also offered the chance to recognise some major milestones to some of the district’s volunteers. RNSH volunteer June Irwin was presented with an award to mark 43 years of volunteering and volunteer Michael Appleton was presented with an award to mark 32 years of service for his work assisting the Ryde Community Mental Health team. I/Chief Executive Lee Gregory thanked volunteers across the district for another great year of support to the community. “We are so fortunate to have such great volunteers and on behalf of our patients, staff and carers I’d like to thank you all for the work you do,” he said.
