Volunteers – Every One Counts!


Each year, over fi ve million Australians contribute their time, energy and expertise to volunteering, giving around 730 million hours of unpaid work per year, worth approximately $15 billion to the Australian economy


Goal 1 –


Volunteers play a vital role in supporting and enhancing the services that Council provides to people in our municipality. Outlined below are some of the areas supported by volunteers at Horsham Rural City Council.


Meals on Wheels


Community and Cultural Development


Enhance the development of Horsham and surrounding areas as a diverse, inclusive and vibrant community


Meals on Wheels provides nutritionally appropriate hot meals to clients who are frail aged and disabled. Whilst delivery of a prepared meal is the basis of the service, Meals on Wheels is much more. It is also about ensuring people who may not be able to get out and about enjoy regular social interaction and the comfort of knowing someone will drop by regularly to say hello and see how they are going.


Meals on Wheels relies on the valuable support of volunteers who use their own vehicles to deliver meals to people in Horsham and Natimuk. In the past year, meals on wheels relied on the services of volunteers who provided approximately 3,120 hours of volunteering to provide this important community service.

“I am very grateful for the meals on wheels service that Council provides. The volunteers who deliver them are always so friendly too.”
