Why Volunteering Matters
Volunteering isn’t just vital to the running of community sport – it’s also incredibly rewarding. Research shows:
- Volunteers are happier, healthier, and sleep better than those who don’t volunteer.
- 96% of volunteers say helping others “makes people happier”.
- 95% report improved wellbeing.
- Helping others creates a “helper’s high”, a powerful physical and emotional boost.
- Even a small amount of volunteering can improve mood and happiness.
- Ongoing volunteering is linked to better mental health.
- Acts of kindness and compassion are strongly connected to wellbeing and longevity.
- Helping others provides purpose, confidence, social connection, and a sense of belonging.
- Volunteers contribute around $200 billion to the Australian economy every year.
- The number of volunteers in Australia has doubled since the mid-1990s.
- Young people volunteering has grown significantly over the same period.
- Out of 600,000 not-for-profit organisations in Australia, only 60,000 have paid staff, volunteers truly keep community sport alive.
