Precious Wings is growing, and we need your help! We rely on the meaningful work of our volunteers and your experience and skills can help us to make significant and positive investment into the lives of grieving families throughout Queensland. There are many ways Volunteers can be involved with Precious Wings and we would love to have you involved in our vital work.
We are seeking expressions of interest for several key and important volunteer roles that Precious Wings currently needs on an ongoing basis to achieve its mission.
Our volunteers give their time, skills and energy to help bring comfort, love, hope and understanding to bereaved families, for a variety of reasons:
★ Because they want to have an impact and feel an alignment with our vision, mission and values
★ To create life-long friendships and a sense of belonging to a community of support
★ To develop new skills or gain work-related experiences
★ To build emotional resilience, wellbeing, and self esteem
★ As a way to give back and help others in the community
★ And importantly, to be inspired and have fun!
Precious Wings is currently looking for the following key roles:
Communication Team - Provide support with writing social media content and posts and/or contribute to our quarterly newsletter.
Education team - being involved in education and training for health professionals, funeral homes and the wider community.
Hospital Volunteer - join the Hospital Liaison Team for a particular hospital/s including assembling, checking and/or delivering Memory Boxes on a regular basis to these hospitals.
Events Committee - help plan and coordinate our annual fundraising luncheon (this year it will be held on Saturday October 14th)
Fundraising - Assist with the creation and coordination of other fundraising activities throughout the year.
Peer supporter - Help to run our peer support groups, including memory box making, restorative yoga (we sensitively ask that it has been at least 2 years since your loss)
Participate in focus groups or forums - to contribute to research/evaluation of our support services.
Communication Team - Provide support with writing social media content and posts and/or contribute to our quarterly newsletter.
If you would like to join one of our volunteer teams please fill in the following Expression of Interest Form and one of our team will be in touch to organise a time to call and have a chat: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=AX4GIvc_A0GBeF7vf6AGlBam8pf82ahElYRTUyK7B0hUMVlDSUJGWDJFQk0xMFFLRjlCMEhTVEU4USQlQCN0PWcu
Certain roles require specific skill sets and/or a particular time commitment. Once we have received your EOI we will organise a time to have a conversation with a Precious Wings team member to discuss both your and our expectations of the role/s. Please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@preciouswings.org if you have any questions.
Ad Hoc Volunteering
We are very grateful for any ad hoc volunteering such as washing wraps, assembling memory boxes infrequently, attending working bees, however these roles do not need an EOI. Please contact us for more information and we will advertise working bees on our Facebook page.
Making Blankets: We are always looking for volunteers to make blankets that we include in our memory boxes. They can be knitted, crocheted or sewn. We need blankets of all sizes from 30cm squared to large normal newborn sized blankets.
Please email us at info@preciouswings.org for more information on all of the volunteering opportunities available.
Thank you so much for your interest, we look forward to hearing from you!
