“Challenge has been a fantastic place for me to make new friends, experience things that I have never thought possible and be a part of a heap of wonderful children's lives. The great testament to volunteering at Challenge is that after all the camps and activities I have been on, I am still participating in new and exciting endeavours and most importantly still having lots of fun.” Jenny, Challenge Volunteer
“Volunteering at Challenge is such a wonderful way of giving back a little and gaining a lot. I'm glad I found you.” Stephanie, Challenge Volunteer
“Thank you to the Challenge staff and volunteers for all your support, if you weren't there in my life and in the lives of my family, life today wouldn't be the same. I admire your generosity in helping others,” Estelle, Challenge Member
Camp and Activity Day Volunteers
Challenge camps and activity days offer our children the opportunity to learn and improve their skills in a variety of areas including art and craft, sports, music and performance. We are always on the look-out for volunteers with skills in these areas. To run programs we also need bus drivers, cooks and general volunteers.
Fundraising
Challenge depends upon the generous support of the community to ensure we can continue providing support for our children and their families. Volunteers involved with Challenge fundraising activities are needed during our gala balls, concerts and events.
Administration
Volunteers can help out at Challenge House with administrative tasks, such as large mail outs, phone calls and data entry.
