What we do
We are there for people facing homelessness, housing instability, and hardship across coastal and rural communities—where support is often the hardest to find.
You are Needed
We believe everyone has something valuable to offer. As a volunteer for Needed Foundation, no matter your background, schedule, or experience level, there is a place for you here.
Our Community Volunteers are the heart of Needed.org. Roles can be tailored based on your availability, interests, and strengths. Whether you have two hours a month or five hours a week, and whether you prefer hands-on tasks, working online from home, or connecting with people directly, we will match you with opportunities that fit your lifestyle.
How You Can Help
Because our needs are constantly evolving, volunteers can plug into a wide variety of activities, including:
- Community Support & Outreach: Helping spread the word, welcoming community members, or assisting with local events and resource drives.
- Hands-On & Operational Support: Helping pack, organise, or distribute supplies and essential goods.
- Digital & Creative Tasks: Assisting with online administration, sharing updates on social media, graphic design, writing, or tech support.
- Skills-Based Help: Offering specialised knowledge (such as translation, tutoring, event planning, or handyperson work) on a project basis.
- Peer Connection: Offering a friendly voice, listening ear, or basic support to community members in need.
Who We Are Looking For
You don't need formal experience or a specific background—just a willingness to help! We welcome:
- Anyone with a passion for helping others and making a positive local impact.
- Friendly, reliable, and respectful individuals from all walks of life.
- People seeking flexible volunteer hours that fit around work, family, or study commitments.
- Individuals, students, retirees, and people of all ages and backgrounds.
What You Will Gain
- A Welcoming Community: Connect with kind, like-minded people who care about making a difference.
- Total Flexibility: Choose how, when, and where you contribute.
- Personal Growth: Learn new skills, gain charity experience, or simply enjoy the fulfilment of helping others.
- Recognition & Verification: We are happy to provide official verification of volunteer hours for work or CV requirements.
