Our Volunteer Program
Without volunteers, many of the additional services and new friendships we are able to offer at Anglican Care would be impossible.
Self worth, great fun and friendships can all be part of getting involved with our wonderful employees, residents and consumers. Volunteering may be an outlet for your natural talents, a way to gain insight into the world from our older residents and consumers, or simply a way to meet new friends.
Your assistance with our programs can provide more opportunity to increase socialisation for our residents and consumers and enhance their lives. Some of the ways our team provide support is by:
Visiting people in the community with our participants and spending individual or group time with our residence is a rewarding and impactful way you can help us improve wellbeing and quality of life for our people.
Playing games, an instrument or assisting with a sing-a-long are activities that many of our residents and participants enjoy taking part in and look forward to.
Assisting during an outing or function, such as our annual Sensational Seniors Olympics is a great way to give back and put a smile on their faces.
Assisting with writing letters, reading, craft activities, or teaching new skills are all things that our residents and participants enjoy.
