TRAINING

Volunteers are an integral part of our work, we are grateful for the passion and support of everyone involved who are helping us with our mission! We couldn't do it without you! Having trained volunteers is important to ensure we recruit donors in the correct and ethical way. This also builds credibility and trust with our donors so they have confidence when they join the registry. It ensures they have a great experience and therefore more likely to say "yes" if asked to donate their stem cells! Having trained volunteers is a requirement of the Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry and as an accredited partner we must adhere to the policies to ensure we recruit donors in an ethical manner and under their guidelines. All volunteers assisting at your donor drive event need to complete training. Even if they are assisting in a simple way (ie - handing out flyers), they still need to complete training. It takes approximately 1 hour to complete. Please list the names and email addresses of all those who are assisting at the event so we can enrol them in training. You can email info@urthecure.com.au at a later date with any additional names and email addresses (at least 2 week's notice prior to the event is required). If you have last minute requests from people wanting to volunteer at the event then unfortunately we cannot provide the training. Depending on the event, we expect to see at least 2 or more volunteers enrolled in the training. If we don't see sufficient trained volunteers we may not be able to proceed with the event. Please email completed certificates of training for all volunteers to info@urthecure.com.au

Names and email addresses of all volunteers helping at the event:

FUNDRAISING

Fundraising is not mandatory however every little bit helps us cover the costs to support your event. It can cost UR the Cure anywhere between $50 to $200 to support an event (sometimes more).

Are you planning to incorporate a fundraising component to your event?

For example you might have a group of volunteers cooking a fundraising sausage sizzle or a station set up with the opportunity for people to provide a financial donation or a cupcake stall, there are lots of ideas! We can support your fundraising activities.

AGREEMENT AND COMMITMENT

As our "event leader" we just need to make sure you are aware of a few important things, please read and check the boxes below!

I understand that I am responsible to ensure all volunteers on the day have completed training and that I have provided (or will provide) the names and email addresses of all those volunteering

I understand that anyone who is ordering a swab kit online to join the donor registry through my event needs to do so through www.urthecure.com.au/swab (Note: UR the Cure provides the necessary QR codes. This is so we can tell you how many people joined at your event and to reach our charity targets to ensure our programs continue to be funded into the future)

I understand I am responsible to ensure anyone joining the donor registry does not feel pressured or coerced at the event to join and that all my volunteers understand this too

I understand that I am responsible to ensure all volunteers at the event follow any processes or protocols outlined by UR the Cure & report any incidents that may arise
