Ways to volunteer.
As a not-for-profit organisation, the more support we have from the community – the faster we can reach our goals. We would love to hear from you if you think you can help us with:
- Office work. Tasks range from general administrative duties through to answering the phone and processing donations.
- Our event schedule runs all year round, ranging from smaller private functions through to public fundraisers.
- Share our message with your networks and contacts. Spread the word about the importance of our work.
- Skilled support. Over to you! If you believe you have specific skills that can support our efforts – let us know. We can tailor the right opportunity to you.
