In 2011 ChilOut - through the efforts of our volunteer board - has kept people informed through newsletters, our website, facebook and twitter, liaised with detention centre visitors, organised a toy drive for Christmas, prepared numerous submissions for parliamentary inquiries, spoken at schools, community groups and rallies, visited Christmas Island and prepared a major report, No Place for Children, written articles, contributed to the ground-breaking A New Approach: Breaking the Stalemate on Refugees & Asylum Seekers, participated in sector meetings and provided media commentary. All the while juggling families, work and normal life.
ChilOut now employs a part-time campaign coordinator to support and supplement the voluntary efforts of our unpaid board and volunteers. The ChilOut campaign is so much more effective with a paid campaigner who can dedicate the time needed to coordinate the volunteer efforts of our supporters and the board.
Everyone is asking for money these days but if many of us can make a small, regular contribution we can guarantee someone's salary and not have to spend energy fundraising by other means.
There are many ways you can donate. And t here are many actions you can take to ensure Australia stops locking up children.
