Conference & Awards | Volunteering North Queensland

Revitalising, Re-equipping, Rewarding, Refreshing & Restoring

Volunteering North Queensland Conference and Awards (VNQCA), a first of its kind in our region, was held in Townsville on the 27th and 28th of May. It was a conference style weekend retreat for volunteers serving in local communities to be revitalised through inspirational speakers, practical workshops and wrapped up with a gala evening announcing The Volunteer of the Year Awards. Not only was it a weekend to uplift and upskill, but a time to say thank you and celebrate!
