About this opportunity
Christ Church Mission Community Centre is based in the heart of St Kilda with a small team of staff supported by over fifty volunteers. We provide support, material aid and socially inclusive activities to a diverse range of local residents many of whom are disadvantaged, isolated or marginalised due to family dysfunction, infirmity, disability, mental illness or the long-term effects of drug or alcohol use. Our main goal is to provide a point of connection aimed at reducing isolation, fostering mutually beneficial relationships amongst those who attend and offering pathways to involvement with the wider community.
Our Garden Nomad volunteers assist with mowing, weeding and general tidying. Tools and safety equipment are provided as are support and basic training. This position requires people who are keen gardeners, friendly, and preferably (but not essential) have a current driver’s licence with a vehicle capable of carrying a light weight battery-powered mower and tools (Van, Ute, 4WD, Station Wagon). Ideally volunteers are able to commit to up to 4 hours per fortnight on an ongoing basis.
