Friends for Good is an Australian loneliness pioneer. We were the first organisation to work solely on the issue of loneliness. We provide direct services, including FriendLine, MateLine, ArabicLine and on-line chat, undertake research and hold community education activities. We partner with a broad range of individuals and groups and chair the Friendship Alliance, a national group working together on the issues of social isolation and loneliness.

We are planning an event to be held in March 2025. It is quirky and fun, whilst also delivering important messages about the importance of friendships in overcoming loneliness. Much like fun runs and other activities it will also raise important funds through sponsorship and direct donations.

This voluntary position involves chairing a committee of inspired volunteers to plan, manage and promote the event. A corporate sponsor is engaged with this and some volunteers have already put up their hand to assist.

If you are a natural leader, good at taking people on an event journey with you and have excellent attention to the details then this role could be for you! Preferably you have event management qualifications and/or experience. Passion to assist charities in their work is essential.
