GET INVOLVED WITH THE SHELTER

We are always looking for new volunteers to help with the many tasks involved in running the shelter, supporting the families and to help us make our vision of a safe and supportive women and children's shelter a reality.

Are you passionate about what we're doing?
Do you have a passion for helping people?
Do you have a skill you would love to share?

Maybe you are a maker, a doer, a cleaner, a networker, a writer, or just want to be part of the team,  no matter your skill set we need helpers in all different forms.

Apply for our volunteer program and see what we can do together.

We're excited to have you join the team! 

Do you have a passion for fun? 

Do you like to host events? 

Have you thought about hosting an event to raise funds for us? 

There are many fun ways in which you could raise funds for us in your local community.

Ideas include holding a dress up themed night, a girls night out or in, trivia nights, bingo, movie nights, school mufti days (always a hit with the kids)

The opportunities are endless, contact us to get promotional material to support your event donations@glws.org.au
