Senior Day Centre Helpers (open to youth)
General volunteers provide support at our weekly centres [MAIRANGI BAY, ALBANY] for isolated elderly. We require help with setting up prior to the session and packing up afterwards, help preparing morning tea and lunch, assisting with hobbies, crafts and activities.
Our organisation strives to improve the quality of life of isolated and vulnerable elderly by providing weekly companionship, social interaction, games, outings and physical activities at centres located in the North Shore and Hibiscus Coast areas. Our Centre Supervisors are assisted by dedicated volunteers who deliver a programme that aims to provide for the physical and emotional well-being of our guests.
