Individual Volunteering Wellington
Our individual volunteers play a significant role in helping to make our Houses a ‘home-away-from-home’ for families. In Wellington, we have two individual volunteering opportunities available.

Our Wellington House provides accommodation for a range of families who are away from home due to medical treatment. The House volunteer role will see you wearing many hats – welcoming families and visitors as they arrive, answering the phone, administrative tasks, housekeeping duties and anything else our small staff team might need support with.
Located in Wellington Children’s Hospital, the Family Room provides a quiet space for parents/caregivers to relax in while remaining close to their children. An important, sole charge position, the Family Room can only open with the help of a volunteer. Some of the tasks include helping visitors sign in and out, managing the sleep room, laundry and preparing lunch and snacks.
