Caribbean Pink Volunteer Roles: Other Ways You Can Be Part of The Team




In just 5 days Caribbean Pink will be holding our first volunteer information session. We are looking for people to fill a number of volunteer roles. Some of you may think that you would love to help out, but you don't have the ability to help with the room refreshing or with managing finances or administration. If that is the case, here's some ways that you can still be part of the Caribbean Pink team!

Financial Supporters
- Running a service like Caribbean Pink requires money. Financial supporters might prefer to give a one off gift, or a regular monthly donation.

Homewares and Crafts Donations
- Do you have a talent for making things? Could you sew together some cushions or curtains? Make some bunting? We would love to hear from you!

Prayer Team
- If you are someone who loves to pray, it would be wonderful if you would commit to praying regularly for Caribbean Pink and the people that we serve.

You might also like to organise your own fundraiser for Caribbean Pink, or you might even be interested in setting up a similar service in your own area. If this is the case, do contact us!

Have some time on Sunday afternoon and interested in finding out more? Come along to our volunteer information session!

When: Sunday March 2nd
Time: Midday
Where: Ringwood Church of Christ
13 Bedford Rd, Ringwood

Please help to spread the word, so that Caribbean Pink can start bringing joy to people who are bedridden or housebound with chronic or terminal illness.

Caribbean Pink Volunteers: Room Refreshers



In about 2 and a half weeks, Caribbean Pink will be holding our first volunteer information session. We are looking for people to fill a number of volunteer roles. One of these roles is 'Room Refresher'. Below is some information about what this role will look like.

Room Refreshers
- Attend and participate in the room refreshing, along with the Team Co-ordinator and Designer/Shopper.

The number of rooms that each Room Refresher will be asked to help with, will depend on both demand and volunteer numbers. However, we ask that each Room Refresher be available to take part in the refreshing of one room per month as a minimum. This equates to approximately 2 hours per month of the volunteers' time.

Caribbean Pink Volunteer Information Session




Those of you who have read some of my previous blog posts might remember that I am in the process of setting up an organisation called 'Caribbean Pink' whose aim is to bring some joy to the lives of people who are bedridden or housebound with chronic or terminal illness through 'refreshing' a room of their home, most often their bedroom.

Well, I have some great news! If you are keen to be a part of the work of bringing joy to people living with chronic or terminal illness, or would just like to find out more about Caribbean Pink, we have a volunteer information session coming up!


When: Sunday March 2nd
Time: Midday
Where: Ringwood Church of Christ
13 Bedford Rd, Ringwood Vic 

Please do share this information with your friends. 
We are excited about getting a great group of volunteers together and seeing our first rooms refreshed. For more information, check out our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/RoomRefreshingService, or shoot me an email at: caribbeanpink.natasha@gmail.com
