about volunteering for an organisation like Anglicare. According to local Anglicare Disaster Recovery volunteer team leader, Heather Gwilliam, volunteers are crucial in disaster recovery work. “Anglicare volunteers work in Evacuation and Recovery centres alongside frontline emergency services like the Rural Fire Service and State Emergency Service, other community partners and local council offic ers who help people in major crisis,� she said. “We work one on one with people providing practical assistance, be it sourcing supplies, referring people though to officials who can help, or sitting alongside people as they share their stories while we wait for their specific outcome.�
