This is the official podcast of Volunteering Queensland. Each month, we travel to regional and remote Queensland to meet some of the larrakins and heroes doing their bit to keep their communities alive by volunteering.
In this episode we travel to Gladstone to meet four wonderful volunteers from the Gladstone Entertainment and Convention Centre's Friends of the Theatre program.
The Gladstone Friends of the Theatre program is made up of over 50 volunteers who assist in keeping the centre running smoothly. They play an integral role in helping to deliver a diverse range of exciting concerts, theatrical productions, and corporate events throughout the year.
In fact, in an average year, these volunteers contribute over 3000 hours – a total labour value of more than $139,000. So when we tell you that they couldn’t do it without the brilliant Friends of the Theatre team, we mean it!
By joining Friends of the Theatre, volunteers make a meaningful contribution to local community and to arts and culture, and you're going to love meeting these 'Friends' - Bev Fellows, Amanda Shepherd, Heather Weiland and Wesley Walker.
