Lifeline Harbour to Hawkesbury Sydney is currently looking for volunteers interested in becoming Lifeline Crisis Supporters.
Our volunteers on our Crisis Support Line (13 11 14) and Text and Chat Crisis Support Service (0477 131 144) support help seekers to ensure that no person in Australia has to face their darkest moment alone.
Every day, Lifeline's national Crisis Support Service receives approximately 3,750 requests for help. That's almost 1.4 million requests for help each year, highlighting the urgent need for volunteers to join us in this crucial mission.
The service provides 24-hour, 7-days-a-week confidential support for anyone in crisis, or those supporting someone experiencing crisis. People from all backgrounds contact us about all kinds of life problems. Whatever their crisis, we are there for our Help Seekers when they have nowhere else to turn.
Lifeline Harbour to Hawkesbury Sydney is currently recruiting for the next intake of volunteer Telephone Crisis Supporters and Digital Crisis Supporters. Volunteers generously give their time, energy, and expertise to help Lifeline achieve its vision of an ‘Australia free of suicide’.
As your local Lifeline Centre, we are hoping to attract locals to join our next intake of Telephone Crisis Supporters volunteering out of our telephone centre at Gordon, starting August 2024.
As a Digital Crisis Supporter, volunteers can support someone in their moment of need from their homes, as an increasing number of help seekers reach out to Lifeline via text or online chat.
We would greatly appreciate it if you could please promote our next round of recruitment within your team and network?
I have attached the media releases for your use, as well as a poster you can display or distribute. If you would like physical copies of the poster sent to your location, please don’t hesitate to ask!
Thank you for considering our request. Your support can make a real difference in the lives of those in crisis, and please do reach out if you have any questions or would like any further collateral.
Kind regards,
Bre
