Volunteering at SPACE
Without the dedication and generosity of volunteers, the work we do at SPACE simply wouldn’t be possible. Every volunteer—whether they give an hour a month or a day a week—helps us create a warm, supportive, and inclusive environment for the children and families who rely on our services. Your time, energy, and willingness to help ensure that families feel welcomed, activities run smoothly, and our centre remains a safe and uplifting space. Volunteers bring heart, strength, and community spirit to everything we do, and their impact is felt every single day.
We offer a range of opportunities to suit different interests and levels of involvement.
No matter how much time you can give, your contribution truly matters. By joining our volunteer team, you become an essential part of the SPACE community—and we would be delighted to welcome you.
