Our Companionship and Respite Volunteers provide in-home personalised support to people and their family/caregivers. Our volunteers provide emotional support to those struggling with the emotional toll of their illness and aim to improve feelings of isolation and loneliness. Our volunteers providing a listening ear and a comforting presence during a difficult time.
Respite volunteers allow family members to take time for self-care or other responsibilities.
Our Transport Volunteers provide free transport to and from essential medical and specialist appointments. Transport volunteers use their own car to transport people and receive 0.65c reimbursement for each km travelled.
Our Personal Memoir Writing Volunteers
We believe that everyone's story deserves to be cherished and preserved. Through our personal legacy writing service, we offer individuals facing palliative care the opportunity to document their life stories, memories, and wisdom. We train our volunteers in the art of capturing and preserving precious narratives, providing a lasting legacy for loved ones and future generations to cherish.
Our Fundraising Volunteers help extend our services by being actively involved with the planning and implementation of fundraising activities such as Bunnings BBQ's, raffles, and promotional events to help raise awareness of our services in the Maitland Community.
We also rely on Volunteer Board Members to help guide and govern our service and Volunteer Administrative Support to help streamline our operations.
Together, we can bring emotional comfort, dignity, and compassion to the Maitland community.
