NAPCANAs a charitable organisation the National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN) is heavily reliant on volunteers, especially during the critical time when the National Child Protection Week (NCPW) promotion packs are assembled. To assist, in 2010 more than 35 Link staff members volunteered their time over 4 nights and assembled more than 7,500 packs! This voluntary contribution by Link staff, at the busiest time of the financial year, is a profound demonstration of the commitment by ordinary people to play a part.Read more |
