Volunteer – Platform Cares

Become A Vounteer

Our volunteers are amazing people who provide essential support in our programmes, events and offices throughout South Africa and of course you’ll be playing a vital role in helping us to save lives, build an environment that is habitable for all.

We have various forms of volunteering from mentoring, training, support structures, spirituality etc. You can call the office on +27685894367 or email pc@platformcares.co.za for more information and clarification.

We value the support of every single volunteer. Without them, it wouldn’t be possible to achieve the outcomes that we have for Women and the Youth in South Africa and Africa as a whole.

WHY YOU SHOULD I VOLUNTEER FOR PLATFORM CARES?

Volunteering is a great way to meet lots of new people, understand different nationalities, lifestyles, cultures, values and become a vital part of a community committed to saving and preserving the life of African lives.

It’s also a good way to improve your career prospects. Through training, guidance and employee support, supports to all of our volunteers.

WHY BECOME A MONTHLY PARTNER?

Monthly Partners are an essential part of this ministry.

Partnership is the intentional sowing and watering of seed to ensure a fruitful harvest. It is the steady stream of income from Monthly Partners that allows us to plan and prepare for projects around our communities and this ministry empowers us to expand through property development and capital expenditure that increases the growth and effectiveness of the church, helping us to acquire systems that serve the people better.

Your monthly commitment is changing lives and communities throughout the world – from helping the less privilege in the church and in the community, combating crime and women abuses, making provision for the elderly, paying school fees, medical bills and community services engagement. None of this would be possible without our Monthly Partners!

We have segmented the Partnership into two spectrums and each of them are very important and this is because we understand that giving is from the heart and the relationship you have with God and not out of compulsion.

Vision Carriers

Platform church members who have the gift of giving and would like to make contributions over and above their regular God’s tithes and your offering or other giving are invited to join either TACHMONITE – givers who contribute above R120 000 per year or VISION RUNNERS contributors who give R60, 000 or more per calendar year. These ministries empower us to expand through property development and capital expenditure that increases the growth and effectiveness of Platform church.

You are invited to join one of these very important and powerful ministries by emailing partners@platformchurch.co.za

Other Ways To Volunteer

There are so many ways to volunteer your time with Platform Cares that we have opportunities for almost everyone. If you’re looking to lend your skills or build team morale you may be interested in corporate volunteering. Please email us at pc@platformcares.co.za .

FUNDRAISE FOR US

DONATE CASH

Donations of any amount are received with gratitude – every cent makes a difference and will be put to good use to ensure Platform Cares takes care of the people.

FUNDRAISE FOR US

Have you ever thought of asking friends and family to donate to Platform Cares instead of buying gifts for your birthday or anniversary? Or perhaps you’re planning to run a marathon, participate in a cycle race or climb Kilimanjaro. Why not use the opportunity to raise funds for any of the CAUSES on Platform Cares who can’t even do anything without your assistance? It’s easy to fundraise for us and you don’t have to handle any cash yourself. How to do this?

INTO SPORT, CYCLING, RUNNING, SWIMMING?

Why not put your passion for sporting events to work and raise funds for water & Sanitation, Sanitary Towels/Underwear, elderly people in need of care and shelter, Refugee Support, Village Empowerment or any of our projects.

If you’re running a marathon, climbing a mountain, or cycling in a race, why not set up a fundraising page on https://www.backabuddy.co.za/ or http://www.doit4charity.co.za/ and get friends and business colleagues to sponsor you every step, or kilometer, of the way.

Adrenaline junkies – why not get friends to make donations in honor of your next bungee jump or skydive?

If you’re not into sport, you can still raise funds by asking friends and family to donate to Platform Cares rather than buy you gifts for your birthday, wedding or anniversary.

DONATE GIFTS IN KIND

Donations of goods or services are always greatly appreciated. In particular, we are always in need of non-perishable foodstuffs, toiletries and cleaning products, office supplies, bed and table linen, paint, garden tools, etc for our homes. Second hand items – such as clothing, jewellery, kitchen appliances and furniture – can be sold at any pawn shop to help raise much needed funds for Platform Cares.

You can send your goods to our office which is on Printers Loft, 2 Baanbreker Avenue, Helderkruin, Roodepoort or you can call our office and we will get one of our volunteers to arrange collection at your preferred location.

DONATE TIME

Whoever you are and however much time you have, we need you! Platform Cares needs you to join us in whatever time you have to be a blessing to some of our projects.

Our volunteers deliver meals, visit or phone migrant communities and elderly people, assist with games, shows and outings, sort donations from second hand shops, assist with admin and fundraising tasks, etc. Enjoy friendly camaraderie and the satisfaction of knowing you’re making a difference in the lives of Platform Cares people. For more information, please call our volunteer coordinator at +27685894367 at any time.
