HOW TO JOIN

What is it like?

Helping those on their worst days rewards in ways you can’t expect. Hear from some of the NAB Foundation Recovery Crew who helped in storm-affected Tamborine Mountain.

“I LOVED the experience. You had exceptional team leaders and everyone really looked out for each other which made a huge difference. I felt so safe, supported and even though its very tiring work, I left with the biggest smile on my face”

“I felt grateful to be part of such a wonderful experience to help someone with such a unique team. Thank you”

“A truly humbling experience as I had simply no idea how destructive the weather had been, for so many! It was very special to contribute in a small way, towards helping them through their most challenging time.”

“Everyone was super friendly, welcoming and helpful. It's always rewarding to help those in need and to make the connections with total strangers who are like minded.”

“It was a great day, well run at the location that needed help. I came away with a sense of achievement and enjoyed getting to know my volunteering colleagues.”

“All the workers were very thoughtful and considerate of all peoples abilities to participate in activities and were willing to share their knowledge. It was very well organised.”
