After all of last weeks award winning excitement, we were finally able to celebrate our fantabulous volunteers today at our annual Volunteer Week Celebration The Hwy Hotel 🥂🤩

A big congratulations to our volunteers who reached 5, 10 & 15 years of service at Camden & a special thank you to Toby Priest Parliament of South Australia - Member for Morphett, Michael Coxon - MAYOR of West Torrens & Cr Demetriou for joining us as we celebrate the heart & soul of our centre!

🏆 2026 South Australian Volunteer Awards

It is with great excitement that we share with you all that on Monday night, at Government House, Camden Community Centre’s Food & Wellbeing Outreach Program was awarded one of SA’s five most prestigious award for volunteers – ‘The Andamooka Community Project Award’

This is an incredible honour & a moment of real pride for Camden.

While the award recognises the Outreach Program, it reflects something even more important: the way all of Camden’s programs work together to make this impact possible.

From behind-the-scenes support to front-line volunteering, from daily operations to community engagement—this achievement is the result of a shared effort across the entire centre.

A special thank you to Janet, Chris & the entire Outreach Team, whose hours of dedication shows up in so many different ways every day—cooking meals, delivering food, packing food parcels, collecting donations, sorting supplies, creating connections with some of most vulnerable, isolated community members, & mentoring others.

The variety of work you take on, often quietly & consistently, is at the heart of what we are. 🩷

Thank you 🤩

Celebrating Community Centre’s Week 2026! 💙

Our community centre is more than just a place — it’s where people connect, support one another & build a stronger community together. Thank you to everyone who volunteers, participates & helps make our centre such a welcoming & positive space for all.

Each day last week our clients & volunteers enjoyed a shared morning tea! Thank you again to Bayside Bakery in Glenelg for the delicious cupcakes 🧁🤩

Our fabulous Men’s Shed have been busy creating master pieces - below is a platter board they have made from Glenelg Tramline sleepers that were recently donated to the centre!
