Juliana Collins, Community Volunteer Coordinator, Manly Council wrote...

"Thank you so much for your support in assisting me with volunteers for our Manly Jazz Festival. I can't express how appreciative I am!!! We had such a fantastic result with some amazing volunteers assisting us, we had a total of 38 volunteers during the 3 day event and 13 of these were Event Volunteers from Volunteering NSW, with many other enquiries that we simply could not fit on the roster!!!! It was an amazing outcome, we will definitely use your Event Database again especially for such large scale events, the (money) would definitely be money well spent. It was useful having volunteers who have been exposed to the event environment before, our events team provided fantastic feedback, even stating we had the best bunch of volunteers this year EVER."
