Are you looking for a way to give back to the community by volunteering with a not-for-profit organisation? Do you have experience in Events Management? An exciting opportunity has opened up at Sydney Basket Brigade – a non-profit, non-religious, non-political charity who work with grassroot organisations to anonymously deliver food, clothing, toys and hope to those in Sydney who have fallen on hard times or may need to be reminded that someone cares about them at Christmas.

Sydney Basket Brigade is growing and we are currently seeking an awesome and organised volunteer to be part of our team to help us organise fundraising events throughout the year to help us raise much-needed funds, as well as help organise the big Packing Day in December. Sydney Basket Brigade is a small organisation made up entirely of volunteers and we don’t receive any funding. This means we rely on our own fundraising and the generosity of our community to help us fill our baskets with goodies.

Keen to just organise just one event for Sydney Basket Brigade this year? Please get in touch
