Be the Person They Never Forget. Become an Auntie or Uncle - Grafton
Could you change a child's world simply by showing up?
Right now, there are children in the Grafton area who would benefit from having another trusted adult in their life. Someone to spend time with them, share experiences, listen, encourage, and remind them that they matter.
You don't need special qualifications.
You don't need to be a parent.
You just need a caring heart and the willingness to make a difference.
As a volunteer Auntie or Uncle, you'll be matched with a local child and spend regular time together doing simple everyday activities like going to the park, kicking a ball, baking, fishing, visiting the beach, or simply having a chat.
For a child, these moments can mean everything.
Why Become an Auntie or Uncle?
Children thrive when they have positive adult role models. Your friendship can help build confidence, resilience, self-esteem and a sense of belonging.
What may feel like a few ordinary hours to you can become a treasured memory for a child.
Many of our volunteers tell us they receive just as much as they give.
You May Be a Great Fit If You:
- Enjoy spending time with children
- Have a few hours to spare each month
- Are patient, caring and reliable
- Want to make a meaningful impact in your local community
- Believe every child deserves to feel valued and supported
- Are single, in a couple or a family
