Welcome!

The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme Program is a Government Funded Program that supports older people living in the community who may be socially isolated.   Our Chat and Connect program match a volunteer with an older person with the aim to create a meaningful connection and reduce social isolation.

The Sammy D Foundation educates young people on the impacts of bullying, and drug and alcohol fuelled violence. By providing relevant age-appropriate knowledge and tools, young people are empowered to make positive life decisions for a better community.

The Sammy D Foundation’s Mentoring Program provides one to one support for a young person who may be experiencing some level of disadvantage, social isolation or needs a positive role model. The young people are aged between 7-17 years and living in the Adelaide Hills, Mount Barker, Murray Bridge, and surrounding suburbs.

Volunteer to make a difference

Our volunteer program is dedicated to providing support and companionship to older adults. We believe that every person has the right to a good quality of life.

Our volunteers play a key role in delivering the care and social support older people need and encouraging healthy ageing. Our program offers a wide range of opportunities for individuals who want to make a difference in the lives of seniors.

For example, you can choose to visit socially with residents in an aged care home or assist them with leisure and wellness activities. You might prefer to participate in events, drive a buggy in a retirement village or even support in the café.

Whether for a few hours a week or a few hours a month, you can make a difference in our community. The program is not just about the benefits for our residents and clients, it is also rewarding for volunteers. You have the opportunity to meet new people, learn new skills, and gain valuable experience working with older adults.

Our volunteer team will work with you so that you are matched with a role that suits your skills and interests.
