‘Let’s connect’ — Bring joy as a Resthaven volunteer

‘Volunteers have been at the heart of Resthaven since the beginning, in 1935,’ says Resthaven Manager Volunteer Services, Stacey Thompson.

‘Resthaven volunteers provide that extra level of support for residents and clients, which is immeasurable.’

‘We would like to hear from people across South Australia, people who have a desire to share a meaningful connection with others. There are many ways you can connect as a Resthaven volunteer.’

‘We aim to match people in volunteering roles by their skills and interests, either working with individuals or groups.’

‘Volunteers enrich our diverse community, whether you share a musical or artistic talent, have a green thumb, love a chat, or simply bring a listening ear over a good cup of tea. There is something here for everyone.’

‘We welcome enquiries from people who share in our passion and want to enhance the quality of life for older people – we’d like to hear from you. You will change lives.’

Resthaven Mount Gambier volunteer, Jenny Dow, says, ‘I thoroughly enjoy sitting with residents and having a chat. We gain a lot from each other’.

Stacey explains, ‘Like Jenny, many volunteers tell us that they gain satisfaction in knowing they make a difference in someone’s life.’

‘Resthaven appreciates volunteers and the difference they make in the lives of older people we support.’

Meaningful, fulfilling volunteer roles are now available with all Resthaven sites, with 40 locations throughout the state.
