As part of National Volunteer Week (18 – 22 May), Curtin Volunteers! is running drop‑in micro‑volunteering sessions in the T.L Robertson Library.
These short, hands‑on activities are a great way to:
- Give volunteering a go without a big time commitment
- Learn a new skill
- Support local charities
- Meet other Curtin students
No registration is required, you can drop in for as little or as long as you like!
Monday 18 May | 1:00 to 3:00pm
Crochet granny squares for Wheelchairs for Kids

If you already know how to crochet and have a 4mm hook, feel free to bring it along. Yarn and friendly conversation will be provided!
Tuesday 19 May | 12:00 to 2:00pm
No‑sew blankets & fidget toys for charity

Help prepare materials by cutting felt or fleece to create onesie dolls (cutting only), heart brooches or simple felt animals that are stitched, stuffed and donated through the Uthando Project.
