Together We Can… 

Are you looking for a fulfilling way to give back to your local community?

Volunteering with us is easy, flexible, and inclusive, making it an excellent opportunity for anyone who can spare some time to support our vital cause. We have volunteer roles to accommodate everyone.

Why volunteer with us?

Meaningful impact

When you volunteer with us, you're contributing to a cause that provides essential support to our local community. Our interventions have impacted upon many of the most vulnerable people in our District and have, in many cases, been life changing.

Flexibility

We understand that life can be busy, and that's why we offer a variety of volunteer roles to suit your schedule. Whether you have a few hours a week or a full day to spare, we have opportunities that can accommodate your availability.

Inclusivity

We welcome and encourage candidates from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds, ages and skill sets. You don’t need any experience; all you need is the willingness to make a positive impact

This includes:

  • people with disabilities

  • people from ethnically diverse communities

  • people of faith

  • people from lower socio-economic backgrounds

  • LGBTQ+ people

  • underrepresented age groups

  • women and non-binary people. 

We know that people don’t get the same chances or opportunities in life. We see addressing these inequalities as an important part of our work here at CANL, and so it’s crucial that our staff and volunteers reflect the diversity of the communities we support.

If you like a challenge and want to do something meaningful and rewarding with your spare time, we want to hear from you!
