Volunteer Projects In the Community

Every year there are a range of projects undertaken by volunteers. These projects range from planting trees in small public reserves to redevelopments to community properties.

This page aims to share some of those projects with the community. If you know of a project that would be worthwhile sharing with other communities please give us a call on 8463 4412.

AUSTRALIAN JAZZ LEGEND JAMES MORRISON
GETS BEHIND A $500,000 RENOVATION PROJECT AT THE WOMEN’S & CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

World-renowned Australian jazz musician James Morrison recently supported a $500,000 project undertaken by a group of South Australian churches, to renovate an accommodation block at the Women’s & Children’s Hospital.

The hospital’s accommodation unit provides short-to-medium term accommodation for families with children in hospital, and women from rural areas and interstate who need to be close to specialist care.

The renovation project, undertaken in late 2006, utilised the efforts of hundreds of volunteers from South Australian churches.

It is the first time a group of churches from a variety of different denominations have come together to embark on a community service project of this nature and magnitude. 

This project is an initiative of the Churches of South Australia.  Previous projects the Churches have completed include a $250,000 upgrade to the Women’s Prison visitation area which was completed in July this year.  A Community Assignment’ project resulting in more than $100,000 worth of voluntary community service projects across Adelaide in 2005, and in 2004 the church carried out a renovation of Morphett Vale High School worth $300,000.
