Give the gift of time

Volunteers are the backbone of Ronald McDonald House South Island and we simply couldn’t provide our services without them. If you have time to generously give, we can always use your help. Our volunteers tell us that gifting their time is hugely rewarding.

Gay and Robyn our ‘Tuesday Chicks’ are a huge part of the Ronald McDonald House South Island family. From wrapping presents for newborn babies, collecting for the Annual Appeal to lending an ear or shoulder to cry on, these ladies go above and beyond. “We love volunteering here,” says Robyn. “Not only do you feel like you’re making a difference, but we feel part of the team.”

Our volunteers are part of our family and so we make sure each and every one is giving their time in the most valuable way by providing lots of ways to help, including:

  • Administration and Fundraising support
  • Housekeeping
  • Baking
  • Event volunteering and support
If you are interested in volunteering, please complete the following form and a member of our team will get back to you within 48 hours. Please also complete this Ministry of Justice Request for Criminal Conviction History Form
