Opportunities for people with a disability

Volunteers wanted to make a difference in Maryborough

Looking for an exciting and fulfilling new role as part of a friendly team while helping people at the same time? New to the Maryborough area perhaps?

Endeavour Foundation is looking for volunteers to join the team at the Endeavour Recycled Clothing store in Maryborough (Kent Street) to work a full day although even 3 or 4 hours a week will be an enormous help.

This is an opportunity to learn new skills, meet people, grow friendships and help to support people with a disability.

As times get tougher on the high street, Endeavour Recycled Clothing stores offer top quality items at low prices. In short, the stores recycle with style!

Volunteers are required to help run the Maryborough store with fantastic opportunities to get involved in many areas such as customer service and clothing selection and valuation.

Volunteers can be aged anywhere between 16 and 90 years old, and will receive full retail training and can expect to enjoy an interesting and varied role within the Endeavour Foundation community.

Voluntary work of up to 15 hours a week for the over 55s is permissible through Endeavour Foundation’s registration with Centrelink.

Here’s what some of the Endeavour Recycled Clothing staff say:

“You meet nice people and it’s great to feel like you are doing something positive”

“It’s an opportunity to make great friends and have a lovely time while doing something to support people with a disability”

“The displays give me the opportunity to use my creative skills”

“I love the friendships that I’m making”

Anyone interested in volunteering and making a difference for people with a disability should contact Christine Spink on 4124 0118.

Note: Endeavour Foundation supports more than 600 people with a disability in the Central Queensland region through employment, lifestyle opportunities, education and training, and accommodation services.
