Are you a passionate person that could provide stability and support for a child in your community? Do you/your family have 1 day a month you could dedicate to make a positive impact in a child’s life, as well as your own?

Let us connect you to a child in your community who needs a helping hand.

Wesley Aunties & Uncles needs kind and compassionate volunteers who can bring connection and fun to disadvantaged children in your community.

What’s involved? Face to face visits once a month at a time that suits both you (the volunteer) and the child/their family. Volunteer ‘Aunts’ & ‘Uncles’ in our program give young people the experience and benefits of a stable relationship and an extended family. Together you will do a range of fun activities and simple everyday things that expose the child to new and different activities that help build confidence, social and life skills.

As a volunteer in this role you would be supported by a dedicated case manager from Wesley Mission.

Each year, more than 180,000 people find support, care and compassion at Wesley Mission and without volunteers like you this crucial work wouldn’t be possible. Our volunteers say they get as much if not more out of volunteering as they put in.
