Volunteering
How you can make a difference
Volunteers play a fundamental role in the ability of the Italian Day Centre to deliver aged care services and disability support to its clients and carers. The Italian Day Centre volunteers assist in directly providing services to clients in a variety of ways and settings – meal deliveries to the home, serving meals at the Italian Day Centre, providing social companionship, and visiting clients.
Why is Volunteering Important?
We socially, mentally and physically benefit from helping others which also opens opportunity for personal development.
Volunteering gives us:
- Ways that help us to connect to, and build a stronger community;
- A way of contributing and giving back to the community;
- Ways to expand our networks;
- Pathways for future career development;
- Opportunities to develop professional skills and experience.
