Eastern Volunteers is a not-for-profit community based organisation that provides volunteer recruitment and transport services for the frail aged and people with disabilities.

The organisation is working in conjunction with Boroondara Volunteer Resource Centre and Monash Volunteer Resource Centre to organise a second conference on volunteering.

The conference seeks to address some of the present and future issues and challenges that the volunteer and not-for-profit sectors face for volunteering in Eastern Melbourne and beyond.

As a board member of Eastern Volunteers I have been chairing the steering committee and working group involved in the preparation of the Conference, which will be held on Tuesday the 17th of August at the Novotel in Glen Waverley.
