It’s a fact of our newspaper life – right now, we have 4 vacant walking rounds and 1 driving round.
Walking Rounds:
Kanooka Road area Boronia 103 papers
Army Rd area Boronia 100 papers
Stewart St/Olive Grove area Boronia 200 papers
Moncoe St/Harcourt Rd area Boronia 130 papers
Driving Round:
Boronia area, 11 drop offs to Walkers, monthly, usually the last Thursday of the month (except December). Collect papers any time from 0800 at The Progress Hall in The Basin.
Papers need to be delivered near the end of each month, except for near the end of December, as we have no printed paper for January. We are always pleased to have casual Walkers and Drivers. If a Walker or Driver is away or unwell, we arrange coverage for their round. Can you help? If so, please do get in touch – contact@bbcn.org.au – thank you.
Heaps of roles are going on behind the scenes in order to get this paper out each month.
As well as delivering papers, a huge amount of voluntary work operates behind the scenes. The paper has to be produced, which means gathering information, securing advertising, maintaining finances, prioritising content, graphic design, website and facebook maintenance, maintenance of Volunteer listings, and organising the delivery and distribution of papers to Walkers by our volunteer Drivers. All this is done on a voluntary basis, and amounts to more than 2000 hours each year.
If something there looks like it could be for you, do contact us and we can explore possibilities.
