Volunteer your time

Join the Friends of WIRF volunteer team
You can make a real difference

The Foundation is immensely proud of its volunteers. Now seventy strong, many of our volunteers have been with us for over ten years and much of our research is made possible through their hard work and commitment.

We value the time our volunteers give so generously and the skills they bring to the Foundation. Volunteering for a few hours a week or even once a fortnight helps us enormously.

We have a number of different opportunities depending on your interests, skills and level of experience.

Areas where volunteers give support:

  • The Gift Shop
  • The Café
  • Office administration
  • Event Assistance

Becoming a volunteer at WIRF provides you with:

  • A sense of involvement
  • Opportunities for friendship and social contact
  • A way of giving back to the community
  • An interesting and dynamic workplace
  • A chance to use existing skills and develop new ones.

Due to our criminal and health screening requirements we ask our volunteers to commit to a minimum of 12 months service. If you have a couple of hours to spare each week or fortnight then we'd love to hear from you. To find our more about volunteering please contact us.
