BCNA - Case for Support

Case for Support 2023

BCNA Volunteer Program

This funding project will support all our activities and expand our opportunities to engage with, reward and recognise our volunteers.

The Impact of BCNA Volunteers:

• Approximately 12,000 My Care Kits (post- mastectomy bras) are distributed by volunteers each year. • Nearly 50 trained Consumer Representatives speak up to bring about change and ensure that people diagnosed tomorrow have a better experience than those today. • Our annual Pink Lady Match brings together hundreds of volunteers from corporate Australia and the wider community to deliver a special experience for all those attending, raising awareness and funds for BCNA. • Office volunteers provide hundreds of hours of support for vital administrative tasks. • Skilled volunteers help BCNA move forward with our digital, legal and policy needs.

Like most charities, BCNA has relied on the generosity of volunteers since we began in 1998. Volunteers are the glue that connect BCNA to the community right across Australia. Our volunteers range from those who assist us with administration support in our office in Melbourne to highly regarded advocates in our Seat at the Table program across Australia. To be a highly functioning organisation that leverages and generates greater impact through volunteering we must have robust systems, processes and support that take advantage of the incredible skills of our network Volunteering provides empowering, flexible, accessible, inclusive, connecting, valued and collaborative experiences.

Why is funding needed?

To introduce a new staff resource to support BCNA's extensive volunteer program.
