National Volunteer 

Week for Australia

Celebrate National Volunteer Week 

Get ready to inspire and be inspired! From May 20-26, Australia celebrates National Volunteer Week, and we're excited to spotlight the wonderful contributions of our volunteers. This is a fantastic opportunity for everyone at Toro Australia to share and celebrate the spirit of volunteerism.

We're calling on all our volunteers and employees who support a charity organisations in many different ways, to come forward and share your stories. Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or just starting, we want to hear from you! This is your chance to showcase your impact and perhaps inspire a fellow team member to start their own volunteer journey.

Here’s how you can participate:

- Email Franciele Giacomel -  Franciele.Giacomel@toro.com

- Include your name, where you volunteer, and your contact details.

- Feel free to attach any photos or additional information about your volunteering.

Your stories will be showcased in our upcoming edition of "In The Loop," enabling other employees to connect with you, whether they're interested in joining your efforts or seeking advice about volunteering.

Let’s strengthen our community together. Your story has the power to motivate and encourage a culture of helping and giving back.

Our Employees’ Inspiring Histories 

Paul Prout

“I am in my 11th year as a Volunteer for Brothers Rugby League Football club as one of the coaches for a program called “Try Time”, a special competition for people (any age, any gender) with Physical and Intellectual disabilities. We have a Junior and senior team."

Franciele Giacomel

“I am now in my second year working with the Hutt Street Centre in Adelaide, dedicated to supporting homeless individuals. Even simple activities, like assisting in the kitchen to prepare meals for the homeless on weekends, can create a significant impact on their lives. This work not only helps nourish those in need but also brings a profound sense of fulfilment, knowing that each meal served is a step towards hope and dignity for someone facing difficult times.”
