FAQs
What happens on the day?
Your team will take part in hands-on volunteering activities, guided by a Dignity staff member as well as learn more about the issues surrounding homelessness in Australia.
Every session starts off with a welcome and a quick WHS overview, followed by a presentation by a Dignity team member around the work we do, what homelessness looks like and a few impact stories shared to really set the scene of the day and highlights the impact a morning of team volunteering will make in the lives of so many. It is then time to roll up your sleeves and get to work. We will end the session with a team photo and each person participating to sign a house with the company name to place up on our appreciation wall.
Who can participate?
Corporate teams with a minimum of 10 guests and a maximum of 20 guests are welcome.
How much does it cost?
Dignity volunteering sessions are both affordable and impactful.
There is a $55 per person fee, which covers the cost of food items, toiletries and other items that your team will help sort and pack on the day. All funds are used to directly purchase items that go to people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
Additional inclusions:
