Getting involved

Volunteer with us

A Place to Belong is on a constant search for open-hearted people who want to provide welcome and inclusion for someone who is experiencing life on the edge.

What volunteers might do

One volunteer regularly goes with someone to the museum or art gallery when there are shows on.
Another person helps provide transport for a person to community events.
Another welcomes a person to her home for cups of coffee and occasional meals.
There are many simple and ordinary ways that people in community can provide welcome and inclusion.

Donate

If you would like to donate or make a bequest to any of our programs, please contact us.

Work with us

Occasionally A Place to Belong looks for new workers to assist in our programs.

The primary qualifications are:

to be able to respect and honour people who have experienced marginalisation in our society
to believe in the value and potential of community relationships
to be able to listen and get alongside someone who might have very different life experience from you

To register your interest, please contact us.

“It’s been an invaluable experience. Hearing the person's story and then having some pretty open discussion about how our lives can be different has given me hope”.
