Volunteers

Labs ‘n Life has only been able to launch and stay afloat with the generous support of our dedicated crew of volunteers.

Naturally, given the nature of the work that we do, all of our volunteers must satisfy the mandated requirements of our statutory authority.  Ie police clearances and mandated reporting training.

Labs ‘n Life has a vast range of opportunities for volunteers to involve themselves in this fantastic, innovative charity:

You could be like:

• Catherine, Tony, Mark and Peter and volunteer for service on our board.
• Helen who handles our books,etc.
• The Hayes and Hulme families who host a brood bitch.
• Rebecca, David, Amelia, John and Dianna who host Labs ‘n Life dogs until they are ready for placement.
• Beccy, Liz, Dagmar, Simon, Ross, Catherine, Clive, Annie, Mari, Sue, Annette, Ashley, Ross, Rob and Anne who donate core dogs.
• Jean, Kirsty, Sharon, David, Ross and Rebecca who assist in core programmes.
• Alex, Mark, Ross and John who make equipment accessories for use in programmes.
• Jan and Adam who produce graphics and the website.
• Amy, Steve, Heidi and Rob who kennel dogs during holidays or weekends.

In addition to these activities, we have the following needs for volunteer assistance in the near future:

• Fundraising committee – raising funds to train dogs specifically and place them.
• Host Labs ‘n Life puppies from Thatcher and Stella litters for up to eighteen months.
• (Dog) Pick up and delivery drivers to assist in core and schools programme delivery.
• Weekend warriors – kennelling dogs over the weekend to give dogs a family atmosphere. Naturally yards would have to be inspected to ensure that they are Symore proof. (Symore is the grandfather of most dogs in the programme and can get out of a time capsule buried in cement!

Please contact Brenda 0418859007 if you could assist with fundraising, or
