Volunteer

Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organisation. Without them we could not operate. We rely on them to work in the shop and on our management committee.

We would love to hear from you. Pop into the Op Shop, call the Shop Manager on 9699 6839 or visit out Volunteers Page for more information.

Financial donations

We are a registered charity, with DGR (Deductible Gift Recipient) status, so your financial donations are tax deductible.
