Need a Makeover for Free!

box_top.gif

In recent months, the volunteer centre has been approached by several companies looking for once off/time limited  volunteering opportunities.  We have several corporates on our books who are willing to volunteer for a day (or over a number of days) to carry out specific "hands on" volunteering opportunities.  In all cases, the corporates also have a budget to pay for materials necessary to carry out whatever project may be required.

 

We are looking for community groups to contact us if they have a project in mind that could be carried over a day/number of days that would benefit your group or your community.

 

In the past corporates have carried out such projects as:

  • Painting premises
  • Cleaning Gardens/painting fences
  • Teaching computer classes including teaching older people how to use mobile phones and email
  • General clean-ups
  • Paint over of Grafitti in a local area
  • Mural design
  • Redecorating community centres
  • Taking day centre residents/youth groups on outings
  • Helping out with meals on wheels
  • Cleaning/redecorating of school grounds

If you have something that "needs doing", why not contact the volunteer centre and we will be happy to put you in touch with a company who may be able to help you (and will cover the costs as well!).
