Corporate volunteering is a rewarding way for businesses to contribute to the community and enhance their corporate social responsibility.

The opportunity provides an enjoyable team building activity and a chance to better understand the issues relating to homelessness and disadvantage. Our corporate volunteers rate the experience as rich and rewarding and leave feeling they have made a meaningful contribution to the community and those in need.

Sacred Heart Mission relies on fundraising and social enterprise to fund 70 per cent of our volunteer program costs and 15 per cent of our service delivery.

To support us in continuing to deliver our volunteer program, we ask our corporate partners to make a contribution to the cost of running it when they are part of the experience.

Due to unforeseen circumstances we are currently not taking any enquiries for Corporate Volunteering shifts across Sacred Heart Mission. This includes booking any further Corporate Volunteering shifts, and at this stage will be until further notice. We apologise for the inconvenience but this is currently out of our control.
If you have been in conversation with one of our team members about a Corporate Volunteering shift we will be in touch, otherwise please check back with us again in July 2024.

Sacred Heart Mission is an amazing organisation that provides a meaningful volunteering experience to our employees.

The activities are professionally run and our employees are always very positive about their experience and many will volunteer again to keep supporting the Mission’s important work in the community.

An incredibly inspiring place where the workplace culture was magnificently created by the hands-on CEO. Volunteers are treated fantastically. Totally loved the experience.
