Glowing red with gratitude for our volunteers

Volunteers are the heart of our community, helping make the Mornington Peninsula a better place to live, work and connect.

During National Volunteer Week, from 18 - 24 May 2026, we are thanking the people who give their time, skills and care to support others across our community.

To mark the week, we lit up McCrae Lighthouse in red as a simple but powerful way to recognise the many volunteers who make a difference on the Peninsula.

The red light is a public thank you to volunteers and a reminder of the important role they play in building a strong, connected community.

Lighting up the lighthouse also helps us:

• thank volunteers for all they do
• raise awareness of volunteer opportunities across the Peninsula
• encourage more people to get involved in their local community

We thank the McCrae Lions Club for helping bring this tribute to life.
