Get Involved

Volunteering

MFNS is creating opportunities for our volunteers to support elderly people and people with varying abilities to live their lives with dignity and independence.

With various opportunities, there is something that you can all do.

Why Volunteer?

Being a volunteer is so much more than giving a helping hand, it is being there and making a difference to people's lives. Volunteering is a great way to get to know your community, to share experiences with people you may not normally meet and improve your social, organisational and communication skills.

Fundraising

Want to be proactive in changing lives? Click here and read our ideas for raising money for MFNS but most importantly have fun while doing it. We know you will have better ideas but here is some inspiration:

Organizing your own event

Whether you want to organize an event or be part of an upcoming campaign, MFNS welcomes you to join in by having a formal permission.

  • Be creative – run your idea past us before the event takes place.
  • MFNS will provide branded fundraising equipments, buckets, leaflets and banners.

Let your imagination run free! Start thinking about the type of event you want to hold. Usually, tried and tested events such as a holding a fundraising dinner or a garage sale work very well. But there is always room to think outside the box and be more quirky with your fundraising ideas. Here are some ideas to get you started:

  • A quiz is a great way to get those brain cells working. You can even try and get local businesses to sponsor prizes.
  • You can organize bake sales; create greetings cards or anything that will have you bringing in those bucks.
  • Holding an auction is a fun way to sell items for a good cause.
  • A physical challenge like an expedition or trek, walkathon or marathon is another option. Contact your local City Hall or Police Station for advice on how to get a permit.
  • Get people you know to sponsor you, and once you’ve completed it you can collect all the donations!
  • Collections at your local place of worship.
  • You can contact your local place of worship and arrange to hold a collection amongst the congregation.
Regular Donations

You can help MFNS secure regular sources of funding through paypal.
