Volunteer

We need you!

Here at the LBF we are on a huge volunteer recruitment drive. We need people from all walks of life to come and join us and help make a huge difference to people living with blood conditions.

We are looking for people who can donate anything from a day a week to only a few hours a month, either just once or on an ongoing basis. We can promise you fun, new experiences and the knowledge that you are contributing to such a worthy cause.

We have our annual Leukaemia Appeal Week coming up from the 3rd to the 9th November and we need volunteers to help us raise much needed funds. If you have some time to spare in that week we would be very grateful to hear from you.

The LBF is lucky enough to be the Farmers charity of choice in this year’s Santa Parade. This will be a great event to get involved with and spread some festive cheer. Auckland’s Santa Parade is scheduled for Sunday 30th November and Hamilton’s is Sunday 7th December.

If you are blessed with office skills we are always looking for volunteers to do a range of activities at our head office in Epsom in Auckland. Whatever your talents do get in touch with us by filling out the application form at the bottom of the page or calling us on 0800 15 10 15.

Marlene's story

Marlene, a volunteer from Auckland, believes helping out at the LBF has brought a new dimension to her life.

"I got involved with the organisation 5 years ago after I lost my husband to Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). I had lots of unanswered questions and needed to know more about the disease for my children and myself."

"At LBF I found some wonderful people who understood what I was going through, and who wanted, like me, to help wherever they could to make a difference. Volunteering has become a real passion for me and I love what I am doing."

To become a volunteer, please complete the volunteer application form and post it to us at PO Box 99182, Newmarket, Auckland 1149.  If you have any queries or would like further information, please email info@leukaemia.org.nz, or call 0800 15 10 15.
