Thanks to those who volunteer

This week is National Volunteer Week and at Baptistcare we would like to take the opportunity to say thankyou to all those who give of their time and energy to help us transform and enrich lives.

This morning I attended a thankyou morning tea for some of our volunteers who are part of the Community Visitors Scheme (CVS). A similar morning tea was also held in Mandurah. CVS is a national programme that provides companionship to culturally or socially isolated people in residential aged care facilities. They do an amazing job and we thank them. Here's a picture of this morning's morning tea at the Zamia Cafe in King's Park

In addition to CVS, volunteers work across Baptistcare's services providing companionship to residents and clients, reading to them, taking them on outings, doing crafts, playing the piano, and a whole range of activities that help to make their lives more fulfilling.

We also have a special group of volunteers who run the Baptistcare Bargain Centre in Dewar Street, Morley. This team of people work tirelessly to ensure that people can access a wide range of second hand clothing and other goods, and in so doing, continue to support the work of Baptistcare.

To all our volunteers we want to say thankyou. You are appreciated.
