Gold Coast's biggest celebration of volunteering.
The Gold Coast Volunteer Awards aim to honour and acknowledge the efforts of both organisations and individuals in the community who selflessly dedicate their time and resources towards creating a positive social impact.
This year’s theme is Vollywood on the Gold Coast! Dress up as your favourite movie star and enjoy all the glitz, glamour, and excitement of the Hollywood scene.
