Our volunteers

We are always looking for great volunteers! We currently need more male companions as our boys are growing up. Fundraising volunteers are always needed if you can spare half a day to work at one of our events? And, if you have a few hours a month free that you would like to use in volunteer time we always need people around the office helping with various admin work.

Red dot Please note we only recruit companions on an annual basis. We close our yearly intake at the end of May and run our training weekend in July of every year!

A ‘fairy’ special family
From Jackie, a Newcastle CQ volunteer 

CQ is possibly the most fun and rewarding thing I will ever experience. As a companion I have learnt to expect the unexpected and to believe in magic and the power of 'sparkles' and 'fairy dust'. I now believe that fairies really do exist if you look hard enough, and that laughter really is the best medicine.

Who would have thought that one small girl could convince a six foot companion that he was the Fairy King and that a royal fairy family would soon be formed with 'Fairy Princess Chloe' ruling all of fairy land with the Fairy King and Queen at her side.

Can you imagine this story being played out over a few years at each and every camp to the absolute delight of the Fairy Princess? Only at CQ would someone be proud to wear fairy wings and be called "Fairy King" by all.

Imagine a child's delight when waking in the morning to find the room completely covered in sparkles and fairy dust and discovering a note and present left by the Fairy King.

CQ is where imaginations soar, where fantasy meets reality, where fun and good times are endless and where some of the best memories are made. CQ is where anything is possible.
