Queensland Wide
When driving around have you noticed local landmarks glowing red at night lately? There’s a special reason behind it…
Every year in National Volunteer Week Queensland’s buildings and landmarks light up red for National Volunteer Week.
Below are lists of dates this week and the locations and landmarks that will be lit up red for Volunteers. If you are driving around town snap a picture and post it with the hashtag #NVW2025 and don’t forget to tag us @volunteeringqld !
