Volunteering @ The Well

Drop-In Volunteering

Volunteers are essential to women@thewell and we wouldn’t be able to offer such a broad range of services, activities and treatments without the support and commitment of our wonderful volunteers. For the Drop-In (open 12:30-15:30 Monday through Thursday), we ask that you pick a regular, weekly Drop-In day, so we know when to expect you and can plan ahead.

Did you know most of our Volunteers stay with us for an average of 4 years?!


Please note: We often only have limited spots available for volunteering, if your availability doesn’t currently align with our hours, we encourage you to apply and be held on our waitlist. We prioritise applications from women who are flexible to volunteer across different distinctions (read more below).

There are three main areas we ask Volunteers to help us with - read below for more information on how you can get involved…

  • Kitchen

    If you can make conversation and whip up a toasted sandwich at the same time, then this is the role for you! You’ll receive hands-on training and complete a certified online course in food hygiene before you start in the Drop-In Kitchen.

  • Activities

    Do you want to lead (or participate in) an activity at the Drop-In? Maybe you have a particular creative skill or can be a listening ear while joining in on the craft activity for the day. We’re on the lookout for women with great people skills who may also have a flair for the creative.

  • Reception

    Are you an outgoing person who can talk to anyone? We're particularly looking for someone to manage the reception desk, which involves greeting our service users, answering calls and booking appointments.

We are a women-only service and can only accept applications from women.
EXEMPT UNDER SECTION 7(ii) (d) OF THE SEX DISCRIMINATION ACT 1975. APPLICATION OPEN TO WOMEN ONLY.
