Volunteer Week 2017 Kicks off at Resthaven

The Roadies from LifeFM visited head office on Monday 8 May to present Stacey Thompson, Manager, Volunteer Services, Stacey Thompson with a ‘Heart for Adelaide’ certificate (an award to recognise volunteers) as part of their ongoing promotions, and chat with a group of Resthaven volunteers.

The volunteers will have a chance to talk about why they volunteer, and their insights may be aired tomorrow (Tuesday 8 May) on Life FM during the breakfast show. Stacey will also join the team live in the studio.

‘Volunteers are a vital part of the Resthaven community,’ said Stacey.

‘Every year in May, to tie in with National Volunteer Week, we say how much we appreciate them by hosting ‘Thank You High Teas’ across all Resthaven areas.’

‘This year’s High Tea theme is: The threads of life – a yarn starts with “hello”’.

‘Each volunteer is a thread that connects, uniting people who live with us and people we support at home.’

‘Volunteers help to create possibilities and paths of discovery, empower people, provide choice, and share new experiences and perspectives.’

‘We thank volunteers for their commitment, enrichment and joy, and admire the vital support they provide.’
