Decades of service: Recognising Mount Druitt Hospital’s volunteers

A number of staff were found in the staff cafeteria at Mount Druitt Hospital this morning, pulling up extra chairs for all the fabulous volunteers who showed up to receive much deserved recognition for their incredible work.

Mount Druitt Hospital’s volunteers were celebrated in a years of service ceremony, with staff members popping in to give their thanks to these generous members of the hospital community. This was one of a number of events celebrating National Volunteer Week, with the theme of “The Change Makers”.

You, as volunteers, have certainly demonstrated that volunteering is a selfless act of kindness that has the power to make a real difference in people’s lives. You’ve shown what it means to be change makers by your dedication and commitment to serving others.

Colin Dent, Volunteers Manager BMDH
