Happy National Volunteer Week 💛
To our incredible team of 45 volunteers — thank you!!!
Thank you for showing up, often at the end of a long day, or early in the morning, or filling in at the last minute.
Thank you for listening without judgement, for offering kindness without condition, and for creating a space where people feel safe, seen and valued.
Thankyou for giving up your time on some weekends to do our very important training!
Because of you, Mowana Safe Space can open its doors 4 nights per week, 3 mornings per week for Coffee with kindness, one night per month for LGBTQIA+. Thankyou to those of you who in addition serve on our Steering Committee, there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes, thanks to our amazing roster co-ordinator Luba, our Accounts person Michelle, Tony and Bethany who run our Wisdom Wellbeing Wednesdays. Mel & Sim who run rainbow nights.
Because of you, no one has to sit alone in their darkest moments. We have now been opened for just over 3 years and not had to close our doors once due to lack of Staff. We have now had just over 3,000 guests come into see us. That is incredible.
You Mowana volunteers are the quiet strength behind everything we do.
And this week, we celebrate you.
From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for being the difference. 💛
