Volunteering at ACH Group
Volunteering is a great way to stay in touch with your community and contribute your knowledge, skills, and life experience to support others and make a difference to someone’s life.
National Volunteer Week 2025
It is National Volunteer Week 2025 and this year’s theme is ‘Connecting Communities’. It is an opportunity to thank and reflect on how incredibly grateful we are for the volunteers who give their time, energy, and expertise to the ACH Group community.
Voices of our volunteers
To celebrate National Volunteer Week, we are sharing stories from five ACH Group volunteers: Alex from Kapara; Elizabeth and Simmi from Perry Park; and Teena and Anna from Highercombe.
