PBS Volunteer News - 4- 2016

As we can see a lot has changed since the early fundraisers, but the fact that we need volunteers to help PBS run hasn’t. PBS is still a not for profit, volunteer powered community organisation and we are seeking volunteers to help answer phones, enter memberships into a database and pack the membership kits. It’s fun, and there’s ample opportunities to be involved. Put your in shift request here.

Fine Print Policies and Procedures

It is important for all volunteers and staff to be familiar with this. See the policies and procedures here and http://pbs.org.au/policy. The Policies and Procedures Handbook ensures that PBS remains in safe compliance with the Codes of Practice and other relevant legislation. It also positions PBS volunteers, announcers and staff to operate with a shared, clear understanding of how things work at PBS. Please read it carefully. And if you’re inspired, why not consider becoming a PBS shareholder?
