Can you give a few hours of your time to help older persons get out for a drive? St Andrews Home and Hospital offers rest home and hospital level care within a supportive community for its residents. With friendly staff and freshly cooked meals it creates a home-like atmosphere.
They are looking for volunteer van drivers to take their residents on outings around the Balclutha area. Residents like to have a coffee and cake somewhere along the way, or park somewhere with a good view to have a social chat.
What would you do?
No two days are the same, time flies during the outing and it's a wonderfully rewarding experience. Beware - you might experience a 'helper's high' as your volunteering can lead to a rush of euphoria and the release of endorphins!
If you would like to volunteer asap, please contact Holmdene on 03 4181468 or email holmdene.admin@psotago.org.nz.
A Police background check is required for this role.

Volunteer South's office is closed from Friday 20th December until Monday January 6th. Many organisations listing roles online will also be taking a break. During this time your requests to connect will go through, however there may be some delay in you hearing from the organisations you select. Please be patient and if you have not heard back from them by mid January email them directly and give them a nudge. Thank you and have a wonderful holiday season and summer.
