This week is National Volunteer Week and we’d like to thank our volunteers who support our residents and clients to stay connected and form meaningful relationships in our community.
Our volunteers make a positive impact on our residents and clients through various programs including Meals on Wheels, Men’s Shed, op-shops, and our lifestyle groups.
Some of our incredible volunteers include:
Berta, Residential Services Volunteer, St George’s:
Berta has been a dedicated volunteer in our St George’s home for the past five years. Having worked in aged care before, Berta returned as a volunteer after retirement and engages with residents through activities such as knitting, crafts, and event decorations. She also loves dancing with them and bringing plenty of fun and smiles.
John, Macedon Ranges Health Volunteer, Social Support Group:
For the past seven years, John has been volunteering with the Macedon Ranges Health Social Support Group, dedicating his time each week to driving clients to a range of activities including shopping and appointments, and he also enjoys playing a game of lawn bowls with them. John says he was inspired to make meaningful use of his retirement and that volunteering provides a great way to stay active and involved in the community.
Peter, Meals on Wheels Volunteer:
Peter has been volunteering with the Meals on Wheels program in Gippsland for nearly 15 years. Since retiring in 2010, he’s been delivering meals and smiles to clients in the Morwell region, three times a week. Peter delivers joy, along with meals, often lifting spirits with his humour. More than just meal delivery, Peter says he cherishes the genuine connections he makes.
Thank you to our Volunteers!
