BP wishes to thank the Australian volunteers who constantly dedicate their time towards helping others, often seeking neither recognition nor reward for their actions. In the current environment, we need our Australian volunteers more than ever. As fuel is a major component required for many volunteers to undertake their volunteering activities, BP saw an opportunity to assist our volunteers and say thank you.
