If you think you'd like to take up some volunteer work at a Lifeline South Coast Shop, we gratefully welcome new volunteers every day. Your few hours volunteering can and will save lives!

Volunteer in a Lifeline Shop

We couldn't run our Lifeline Shops without the help of our incredible volunteers. Our volunteers come from every walk of life. It takes all ages and abilities to ensure our shops look great and run smoothly.

Our Lifeline Shops directly support us to operate our 24-hour 13 11 14 Lifeline Crisis Line, which answers over 30,000 calls every year across the Illawarra and South Coast.

Becoming a volunteer is a chance for you to brush up on your retail skills, learn something new, and help strengthen your local community. And remember, just a couple of hours a week for you could be life-changing to people in crisis.
