National Volunteer Week 2025 – Celebrating the People Who Make It All Happen
Blind Sports WA was proud to celebrate National Volunteer Week with a special morning at Cambridge Bowling Club, alongside Vision Australia Radio, Bowls WA, Vision Impaired & Blind Bowlers WA (VIBBWA) and Australian Blind Bowlers Association (ABBA)
Thanks to support from Volunteering WA and Lotterywest, the event brought together volunteers from across the blind and low vision community – recognising the vital role they play in making inclusive sport possible.
At Blind Sports WA, our volunteers are the heartbeat of everything we do. Whether it’s guiding a player, helping set up for an event, or just being there for a chat – their impact is huge.
