PostHeaderIcon Who can be a Volunteer?

Age is no barrier to becoming a volunteer - all are welcome.

Younger people are happily involved in caring for the community along with all age groups and we value life experience as well.

The most important factor is the caring attitude of those who are willing to undertake voluntary service.

Reliable people who are willing to serve when needed and whenever they are available. In most cases voluntary service is not a full time activity - it is likely that you will help us on a roster basis according to your availability and our needs.
