Volunteers can also support our charitable bingo hall, which raises vital funds that keep our programs running, or participate in Kiosking and Special Events, engaging the community and sharing reliable sexual health resources.
We will also be recruiting Education volunteers in the coming months, so follow us on social media to stay up to date.
