On the 28th July 2021, Woodside volunteer Cass Saldaris joined Volunteering WA Regional Coordinator Kelly Nunn, DBCA Ranger Coordinator Craig Williams and the Ranger Team from Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation to undertake a volunteer activity planning session. The purpose of this session was to provide the Ranger team an understanding of the process involved in engaging volunteers in activities at Murujuga National Park.

The Clontarf Foundation exists to improve the lives of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men and by doing so, equips them to participate more meaningfully in society. The organisation needed someone with advanced Microsoft Excel skills and experience in training to assist in upskilling staff on maximising the program. Wayne Adams was an Excel-lent match!
Wanslea is a registered charity that promotes community, family, and individual development through partnerships and services. Wanslea needed assistance in the development of a project plan for their upcoming state election campaign and a Senior Planner from Woodside was just the person to help.
