Newcastle Lord Mayor, Nuatali Nelmes has today thanked those volunteers who make our city a better place.

Around 100 volunteers gathered for morning tea this morning at Newcastle Museum to mark their thousands of hours worked.

350 special people have rolled up their sleeves to get involved in various projects across the city, with volunteers at Blackbutt Reserve and Landcare alone racking up 24,000 hours.
