We’re seeking enthusiastic volunteers to help with a major community event on Saturday, 28 March 2026. A variety of roles and shift times are available, and all volunteers will need to attend a Health & Safety briefing beforehand. Some roles may also require additional training. If you’re unavailable on the day but still keen to help, we also need support in the lead-up and pack-down period from 23 March to 1 April. Interested? Please get in touch. Join us and be part of something special!
Join Our On-Call Volunteer Crew
Ref: #00686
Are you keen to lend a hand but can’t commit to a regular volunteer role? We’re putting together a list of on-call volunteers who we can reach out to when events pop up throughout the year. These opportunities are usually on weekends or evenings, with short shifts of around one to two hours. You might help at community fundraisers, awareness events, or local activities that support the work we do and bring people together. Being part of our on-call team is completely flexible — we’ll get in touch when opportunities come up, and you can choose to help when it suits you. This is a great option for people who want to stay involved in their community without a regular schedule, for students looking to complete volunteer hours, or for anyone who enjoys meeting people and supporting a good cause.
