How do I become a Volunteer?

We cordially invite you to attend a Volunteers' Information Sessions. To find out when the next one is being held and to register your interest, please call us on 02 9382 1622 or email michelle.mcintosh@rmhrandwick.org.au...

During these sessions you'll learn everything necessary to understand the important role our volunteers play, and to gauge whether this might be the right engagement opportunity for both, yourself and the House.

At the end of each session we hand out an Application Pack for you to take home and study and complete in your own time.

Volunteer Recognition

During the past financial year our volunteers raked up 12,500 hours of work, saving the House in excess of $310,000. In celebration of this invaluable effort, Ronald McDonald House Randwick invited all volunteers to attend a Volunteer Recognition Dinner at Bel Mondo's in the Rocks on 22 July this year.

Executive Chef, Andy Ball and his team prepared a delightful and rather exquisite three-course meal for upwards of 75 volunteers and partners on what is usually their day off work.

Former President of the Board of Management, Bronwyn Brown, thanked the volunteers for their priceless dedication and altruistic engagement with the House. She also expressed her sincere gratitude to Andy Ball and Bel Mondo's crew, as well as Michael and Inka Lloyd, owners of this enviable establishment.
