Being a Buddy means accompanying and helping some of our residents with various activities. Residents ages range from 20’s-80’s and activities may include going on outings such as bowling, baking, football etc.

Volunteering as a Gardener could include lawn management, helping out in the greenhouses, watering or cleaning up gardening areas, and designing and planting planters.

We have storage areas of accessible bikes, trikes and quads. These require regular maintenance and organisation to ensure that when required they are accessible and in the best possible condition for our children and young people to use.

Our residents would like to meet people with similar interests to join them for a good 鈥榥atter鈥� about whatever you like to talk about!

We are looking for volunteers to help in our schools on a regular basis to assist with activities, assisting in the classroom, arts and crafts, and more.

Such a lovely bunch who have really gone above and beyond, taking the time to chat and get to know some of the young people who wanted to be involved, it鈥檚 been such a positive experience for us all.”
