Volunteers make a Difference - Become a Volunteer
Today!
Our volunteers enhance the dignity, self esteem and independence
of people with a disability by supporting access to community
programs and activities.
What can Volunteers do?
Some people contribute an hour or two a week, others have
some more time available. Some people have time to spend after
hours during the week or on weekends which is important to
people who live in social isolation who are restricted in
their access to social, recreational and leisure activities.
