If you cannot commit to a permanent volunteer role, you may want to consider temporary involvement on one of our sub-committees or to be on call for:

Fundraising Committee

Help to organise fundraising events which in the past have included:

  • NIBS Quiz Night
  • NIBS Big Red Bookfair
  • NIBS Comedy Event
  • Other ideas welcome

Event Committee

Help organise speakers and promotions for our two main event series

Underground Talks – in our meeting room, small, informal talk and discussion on issues as they arise and speakers as available

Australia Series – bigger forums on significant issues of broad interest for the left, auspiced by NIBS, Trades Hall and Search Foundation

Media Promotion/Stalls

Assist with promoting NIBS via social media, networks and organisations, mainstream media. Help out with NIBS stalls at rally’s and community events.

Handyman/odd jobs            

At various times we need someone with the basic tools and skills for odd jobs repairing or improving the shop and meeting room. Right now we need someone to repair our A frames.

Donate Books 

NIBS rely on generous donation of second-hand books from our supporters. Radical left titles are particularly welcome but, in general, we are happy to accept all genres. Books are accepted at any time of year, not just for our annual Big Red Bookfair.

Books can always be left at the shop or at the porch of Unit 2, 52 Rathmines Rd, East Hawthorn.

If you are interested…
