Very informative and engaging meeting with a Recruitment Officer. I received all information I needed and I'm clear on next steps to take.

Learning what social media is available, the help that each platform provides and the generation each appeals to was beneficial. Knowing the costs involved was also extremely useful for a NFP. Applying this knowledge will help us make a more informed decision about using social media.

I have been offered an admin role and I start next week! Many thanks for your support. Without your connection, I wouldn't have gained this opportunity.

The presenter listened to any questions posed and answered them to the satisfaction of the asker. Advice was given in a helpful way rather than in a way that could make the person feel belittled.

Volunteering helps overcome adversity
Before Brad’s arrival, Jane* rarely stepped outside. Even though she loved gardening, she was unable to garden because she couldn’t bend down. Brad built her a waist high workbench and provided her with empty pots, soil and bulbs. Jane* now ventures outside into the fresh air and sits at her gardening bench to work. She monitors the progress of her pot plants daily and derives considerable enjoyment from doing so.
Seniors 55+ led the way when it came to filling volunteer roles in the last twelve months.
In 2013, Brad’s whole life changed when he was involved in a horrific accident on his way to work. Despite seventeen surgeries over four years, Brad lost his left foot and lower leg. Loss of his mobility, his independence, income, plans to manage his own café and more led to mental health issues. Showing enormous courage and determined not to slide further into despair, Brad strapped on his moon-boot and hobbled into Volunteering North Queensland.
