From Monday it’s National Volunteer Week (12-18 May), which honours volunteers. Der, you might say. But previously it operated as a kind of recruitment drive. Volunteers are now so prevalent that the week's focus has shifted to say 'thanks'.

Those matchmakers at Good Company - who introduce professionals to short-term projects with charities - are hosting an Exchange of Ideas and Inspiration forum. Tony Wilson and Emma Race will be telling stories of recent successful volunteering outcomes before being joined by Peter Batchelor (Minister for Community Development).

Beer Deluxe, Federation Square
