Volunteer
Volunteers are the lifeblood of our organisation. There are many different volunteer roles that might suit you including:
Please note that all our volunteers are required to consent to a police vetting process.
- Volunteer Drivers - we need people with full, clean drivers licenses available during the week day to assist with medical transport to Hamilton and Thames. Our drivers use our vehicles and are fully trained and supported in their work.
- Luncheon Club volunteers - we need people who enjoy food preparation and hospitality to assist in the preparation and services of our monthly Luncheon Club for Seniors at the Bowling Club. This is a lovely social opportunity to work in a team and to build relationships with our senior guests.
- Community Gardeners - we welcome assistance with planting, weeding, harvesting and maintenance at the community garden. We meet Tuesday and Saturday mornings. Fantastic if you have previous gardening experience but you will be working with our experienced team leaders and they are happy to support new gardeners in their roles.
- Event volunteers - we often need assistance with things such as traffic management, parking, supervision, catering and more at our community events.
- Christmas Campaign - we lead a Christmas hamper and gift drive for those in need. We appreciate volunteers who can assist with wrapping and sorting.
- General Hand - there are many jobs around our properties that volunteers could assist with such as water blasting, sweeping, sorting.
Please note that all our volunteers are required to consent to a police vetting process.
