The main thing we need help with is returning toys during our open hours. If you have a responsible teenager or have a parent or grandparent who is retired this would be ideal! We are looking for regular helpers (once a week/fortnight) and people who can be "on call" if we need extra's. If you (or anyone you know) is interested please message or email Sarah at secretary.nsctl@gmail.com
We are also looking for some new committee members if that would be something you could be interested in.We particularly looking for a roster coordinator (2 hours/ month) and a treasurer (1 hour/ week). There is no rush, but out current volunteers have been on for 5-8 years and live has become busy. We offer full training and ongoing support (for accounts we use Xero) and it is a great opportunity for someone to up-skill.
