Giving back

Our volunteers are a breath of fresh air.

We wouldn’t be able to achieve what we do without their enthusiasm and commitment.

Our volunteering roles are extremely popular and this means that we are often required to maintain extensive waiting lists, particularly in areas of high interest such as our kitchen.

We advertise any new volunteering opportunities on our Facebook page and the Volunteering SA website

There are many ways our team of 400+ volunteers help, including:

  • Administration
  • Supporting our case management teams to provide transport for clients to appointments or other life needs
  • Laundry
  • Kitchen duties
  • Sorting donations
  • Assisting at regular or one-off events, such as the annual Walk a Mile in My Boots

As the waiting list time is long, another way you can help is by holding your own fundraising event.
