Volunteers
Over the years there have been many dedicated LUOS volunteers that have come to us and shared skills, got training and support, and stayed often for several years, and then moved on. Our achievements could not happen without their contributions, their dedication, ideas and aspirations to making their neighbourhoods a better place, not just for themselves, but for others.
