Should I try volunteering? Listen to our podcast!

If you’re looking for a volunteering opportunity with real impact, this episode of our podcast Age Old Problem: New Aged Care is for you. Helping Hand’s volunteer Kaye is living proof of the joy and purpose volunteering in aged care can bring. You may even need a tissue…

She joins Rachel Carson, Lifestyle Coordinator at our residential care home at Golden Grove, in this episode of Age Old Problems: New Aged Care to discuss the ins and outs (and countless ups) of being a volunteer with host Kate Holland.

Helping Hand is lucky to have more than 150 volunteers across our residential care homes, a large portion of which help with lifestyle activities, providing residents with social interaction, exercise, mental stimulation, and enjoyment.

Listen in and find out how you might be able to help. As Rachel points out:

• Your availability is up to you.
• And there is no typical volunteer. It is for everyone.

Kaye’s advice: “Just give it a go! You’ll find that you will absolutely love it.”
