FUN FACTS from website http://www.volunteeringaustralia.org/

• Volunteers are happier, healthier and sleep better than those who don’t volunteer – doctors should recommend it.

Do you like to visit, read, go for a walk, play chess, cards or have a cuppa? Do you have a talent, ability or skill that you’d like to share? Let us know, we’d love to hear from you.

After all, the world is hugged by the faithful arms of volunteers. ~Terri Guillemets

One thing all our volunteers have in common is that they arrive with a smile and leave with the feeling of having made someone’s day.

To become one of our valued  volunteers, contact us so that we can direct you to the right person to discuss your availability and what you would like to offer.

If you decide to go ahead and become a volunteer, you will need to go through an orientation and participate in a police check which will be paid for by SCCA.

Volunteers don’t get paid, not because they’re worthless, but because they’re priceless.  ~Sherry Anderson
