Your tax deductible gift to chaplaincy, mentoring, breakfast clubs and mental health first aid training impacts thousands of people each week.
A $25 gift provides breakfast for 50 students.
$100 provides mentors for 20 students.
$250 provides a chaplain for a day.
If you have 70 minutes to invest each week and a willingness to listen and encourage others, then please consider becoming a volunteer mentor.
There is huge demand from schools for mentors to provide ongoing support to students who need a little extra help to negotiate life, school and family.
Training and support is provided.
Learner Driver Mentor
We are looking for experienced drivers willing to share life and help learners achieve the 80 hours required to obtain their licence.
Volunteer driver mentors spend about 90 minutes each week with their learners.
Vehicles, insurance and training are provided.

Volunteers are always needed to help with our school meals programs, making and serving food, connecting with students and cleaning. This generally takes an hour.
We also need support in the Devonport kitchen where fresh food is prepared.
Leaving a gift in your will after you have taken care of your family is a powerful and permanent investment in other children and families.
Your thoughtful decision today can have far-reaching results tomorrow as the seed you sow reaps a future harvest.

Raising funds for Devonport Chaplaincy is an effective way of helping people in need and is limited only by your imagination.
Simple fundraising events include:
Organising a breakfast, lunch, dinner, high tea or barbecue and charging guests to attend, with proceeds going to chaplaincy.
Organising your own endurance event such as completing the Overland Track or a sponsored ride.
Asking friends and family to give a donation to Devonport Chaplaincy in lieu of birthday, Christmas, anniversary presents, or instead of flowers at a funeral.
You can set up your own fundraising profile on our website and link to social media to get sponsors.
Take part in our annual Solstice Splash at Mersey Bluff to raise vital funds for chaplaincy services including chaplains, student and learner driver mentors, mental health first aid training and school breakfast programs.
Registrations will open in April for the 2023 event. Watch this space!
