Last week's International Volunteer Day saw more than 50 volunteers from around the Wheatbelt meet in Northam to be recognised for their contribution to the local community.
Hosted by the Wheatbelt Volunteer Hub, volunteers were treated to a free morning tea where they were thanked and celebrated for serving others.
Each year International Volunteer Day is held on December 5 as a day to celebrate and thank our volunteers for their efforts.
This year's theme 'Volunteer for an inclusive future', highlighted volunteers contributing to inclusion, reducing inequality within and among countries.
Nationals WA leader Mia Davies joined in on the celebrations.
"Our volunteers are our most precious asset in the community - without them, many of our organisations simply would not be able to function," Ms Davies said.
"I applaud all volunteers for their outstanding contribution to their organisations and to their community.
"Volunteering is the lifeblood of our country communities and I can't praise those enough that continue to give selflessly and work tirelessly for the benefit of others."
Ms Davies said despite being notoriously hard to find, volunteers could be anyone.
"No matter your ability or experience, you can contribute through volunteering," she said.
"I find that sometimes we don't actually reach out or ask people from beyond our own social or friend circles to get involved.
"Think about the family that just moved to town, or a new neighbour, or even a colleague or employee that you know.
"Sometimes all it takes is a friendly gesture and the offer to invite them along to be part of the organisation you volunteer for - and they'll bring new skills and an extra pair of hands."
Ms Davies said volunteers brought communities together and were essential to the rich fabric of life in the Wheatbelt.
