HEAR FROM OUR VOLUNTEERS
Each month nearly 1,400 volunteers share friendship and create belonging with thousands of Rosies patrons. These close-knit teams find real joy in this mission and you can get a taste of that by hearing from some of them.
About Rosies
5.6 million Australians, that is one in four of us, are lonely almost all of the time or on a regular basis.*
66% seek friendship as a remedy to loneliness.*
Rosies reaches out to those most in need, people who are homeless or at risk, lonely, and socially isolated within our communities.
Whilst many organisations are increasingly providing awareness, support, and referral, Rosies focuses on providing friendship and unconditional acceptance during difficult times.
Over 98% of our work is funded through kind donations from our local community.
