Volunteers needed for Blackmores Sydney Running Festival
We would love to have the help of 30 + enthusiastic people to help make Blackmores Sydney Running Festival a success.
When:16th September 2012
Where: The course covers 42km of road throughout Sydney with volunteers posted at various locations, including; Course North – Milson’s Point, Alfred Street south up to the Harbour Bridge, Sydney CBD, Course West – Pyrmont & Darling Harbour and Course South – Anzac Pde, Moore Park and Centennial Park.
What’s Involved? Volunteers will help out at drink station and along the course to support runners and ensure everything runs smoothly. It is a great day out and you will be looked after with a snack pack and a chance to unwind at Sydney’s beautiful Botanical Gardens at the end of the day.
Helping with our Someone To Turn To program
Our parent support network Someone To Turn to would like a number of volunteers to help with some of the following activities:
- Pampering days - we're looking for volunteers to help with registration & set up, lead activities e.g. yoga, meditation, craft or give hand massages etc. The next pampering day is October 26th in Cambelltown but we will have other dates and places throughout 2012.
- Volunteer mentors - if you know what its like to be a parent or carer for someone with autism then we would love to hear from you. You'll be given training and support by Aspect and be paired up with another parent or carer who is going through a new diagnosis or a time of particular concern. The role of a volunteer mentor is not a time-consuming one - probably a phone call every 2 weeks.
- Office support - the Someone To Turn To and Autism Information Line team would love a regular volunteer who can help pull together spreadsheets and do some evaluation. This could be fortnightly or monthly depending on your availability.
We would like to find someone to help with gardening jobs in Forestville. Our school sits on a large plot of land and has a bush track, planters, a veggie garden and lots of other garden areas. This could be the perfect opportunity for someone who loves gardening but does not have the space at home or even for someone who has no experience but is keen to learn.
Where? Forestville, Sydney.
When? A regular time (weekly, fortnightly or monthly) on a week day
