Corporate Sponsorship

Become a Proud Supporter of Lifeline Harbour to Hawkesbury

Can helping us help you?

Research proves that aligning your company or brand with the right cause can have a positive impact, not only on sales, but on customer and employee loyalty.

Corporate sponsorship is invaluable to Lifeline. With your help we can ensure the maximum effectiveness of every Lifeline service, meet the increasing need for all our services, add appropriate services when needed, and increase community awareness of Lifeline.

Sponsorship opportunities include:

• A Telephone Crisis supporter
• A Personal Counsellor
• A Financial Counsellor
• A Gambling Counsellor
• Suicide Intervention & Prevention Program
• The maintenance of the Lifeline-H2H web site
• Book Fair Category Sponsor
• Specific critical projects (ask us for details)

Current opportunity - Sponsor a new Lifeline Telephone Crisis Supporter

To fully train a new telephone crisis supporter costs approximately $5,000 per counsellor. We need about 300 Telephone Counsellors on our books to be able to attend to calls 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, with 2 to 4 Counsellors per shift.

All our Telephone Crisis Supporters are unpaid volunteers. Your sponsorship is used to provide the necessary recruitment, training, supervision, equipment, reference manuals and professional support required.

It takes a year to fully train and accredit a volunteer to a stage where they can confidently and independently handle the full range of complex problems, after which they volunteer an average of 4 to 6 hours per fortnight. Our centre answered 22,000 calls last year - a monetary contribution towards the cost of a new Crisis Supporter is the best way to ensure Lifeline can continue to answer calls for help when they are most needed.

Would you like to volunteer your staff?

Some companies provide their staff for a day of community service each year - for projects such as painting our recycling bins.
