Informal volunteering on the rise as regional towns form their own social groups to give back

At a time when volunteer memberships are declining, regional towns are taking charge by forming their own social groups to give back. 

In the small town of Crows Nest, north of Toowoomba, a group of locals are campaigning for a Women's Shed to be built, despite there already being established Queensland Country Women's Association (QCWA), Lions, and nearby Rotary branches.
