Volunteering with CaringKids
CaringKids is a registered charity that recognises the role of young carers and works to reduce their feelings of loneliness and social isolation, by sending them Toy Boxes, we like to call Joy Boxes, packed with toys, games, stationery and books.
Our Vision is a world where play time is recognised as an essential need for young carers, enabling them to grow into healthy, resilient and compassionate adults.
We are registered with Centrelink for volunteering activities.
All volunteers must have a valid Working with Children Check.
Get involved
We are not joking when we say those Joy Boxes don’t pack themselves. So we’re always looking for volunteers aged over 18 who can spare some time to come and help sort and pack toys into boxes with us.
If you’d like to volunteer, don’t be shy, just click the ‘Apply Now‘ below and let’s get you involved.
