What is the Big Shout Out?

It’s a nationwide campaign running throughout June. It’s our collective opportunity to show gratitude to the volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to our communities.

How to get involved

Give a shout-out on social media

Celebrate your volunteers by sharing stories, photos, or messages using #TheBigShoutOut – and tag us!

Need a hand? Use our ready-to-share templates, graphics, and creative ideas to help your organisation say thanks. (More resources coming soon!)

Host a thank you event

Organise a morning tea, lunch, or any event to honour your volunteers and celebrate their contributions.
