Volunteering Australia has put together a new campaign which asks people to 'say thanks a million to Australian volunteers'. The statistics show that over 6 million people in Australia are giving up their time, free of charge on an annual basis.
Here at Tram Sessions there are 16 volunteers who help out in some way or another. We have put together a Q&A to find out why they love volunteering.
Tram Sessions volunteer: Rommel Henricus
What do you do as a volunteer at Tram Sessions?
As a volunteer with Tram Sessions I get to film some very cool artists play some very cool music, on Melbourne's very cool trams.
Who are you outside of Tram Sessions?
Outside of Tram Sessions I work on the production team for JAMTV
What motivates you to volunteer?
My motivation to volunteer with Tram Sessions is to show Melbourne what an incredible wall of talent we have in our music scene and to promote Melbourne's awesome culture and arts scene to the world.
What would the world look like without volunteers?
Without volunteers the world would look like that scene in the Lion King when Scar took over the pride.
What has been your most memorable experience as a volunteer?
My most memorable experience as a Tram Sessions volunteer was hearing a fan of Paul Kelly's tell the crew that she had just had the night of her life after witnessing the great man play a private set to only 50 people. That's the great thing about Tram Sessions, it takes music to people whom otherwise may not be able to experience it.
