Mark your calendars for the last Sunday in June 2024, because something exciting is coming your way! It's the Volunteer Expo, fondly known as VEXPO, a wonderful community event taking place from 9 am to 2 pm at the iconic Tanks Arts Centre in Cairns.

VECXPO is more than just an event—it's a vibrant celebration of our community's spirit. Imagine a space where people of all abilities and ages come together to explore a diverse range of interests and forge new connections. Whether you're passionate about social causes, arts and culture, the environment, or furry friends, VEXPO has something for everyone.

But that's not all! VEXPO isn't just about attendees—it's a golden opportunity for local groups to shine. Over 30 remarkable not-for-profit organizations will grace Tank 3 on Collins Avenue, showcasing their impactful work. From social initiatives to cultural endeavors, environmental conservation, and animal welfare, these groups are the backbone of our community.
