Volunteering
Individual Opportunities:
Encourage your team members to use volunteering days if you offer them, or personally contribute their time to Merry-go-round. Your staff can volunteer individually, offering their unique skills and expertise to share, or roll up their sleeves to engage in hands-on tasks like making up carousel packs, sorting donations, or contributing to our community sale setup. It's an opportunity to actively support our cause, learn new skills and meet great people.
Individual volunteering not only benefits the Merry-go-round community but also provides your organisation with the chance to foster employee growth, team spirit, and a deeper sense of social responsibility. Engaging in individual volunteer activities allows team members to apply their skills in different contexts, encouraging personal development while making a tangible impact in the community.
