How you can help

As a non-profit organisation, Kalparrin depends on funding and donations to maintain its services. We also welcome volunteers - at our Respite Weekends, Family Fun Days, in the office and to help with fund raising. If you can think of a way you can contribute we'd love to hear from you!

Donate

All donations gratefully accepted! Donations over $2.00 are tax deductible. You can donate to Kalparrin by downloading the Payment Form or online using the PayPal button below.

Contribute Goods or Services

Services

• Do you have a business or belong to an organisation that could add to the fun at Kalparrin's Family Fun Days or Respite Weekends? Are you a face painter or massage therapist; petting zoo owner; bouncy castle hire company; dance teacher ........?
• Are you involved in an organisation that could contribute ‘people power' at family events or fund raising events?
• Do you own a business that could support Kalparrin?

Please contact Kalparrin if you'd like to contribute an item, offer a fun day or workshop activity or help in some other way.

Raffle items

We are always looking for items for raffles we run during our various events. We depend on community businesses for contributions, and acknowledge all donations with a certificate and a "thank you" in our newsletter. The proceeds from the raffles go directly back into Kalparrin's services, and many happy members get to walk away with something new!

Some ideas for raffle donations include:

• Vouchers for a restaurant, hotel, or massage
• Beauty items such as body lotions, nail polish, makeup
• Clothing and accessories such as slippers, t-shirts, handbags, costume jewellery
• Household items such as vases, candles, tea towels, plants.

Please send any donations to Kalparrin.

Volunteer

Kalparrin has been fortunate to have many people donate their time in very special ways for our Respite Weekends, Family Fun Days and other activities. Volunteers have provided our members with:

• massage
• reiki
• foot massages
• manicures
• dance lessons
• concerts
• practical demonstrations
• craft activities.

We can always use help in our small but busy office or in the Drop-in Centre or during various fund raising events such as sausage sizzles.
