Volunteering at HammondCare Horsley is a great way for you to make a difference for people who live with dementia. You will assist the development of meaningful relationships with Residents and enjoy a sense of personal satisfaction.

As you visit and spend time with a male resident, you'll help to build friendship and trust, assisting them to be involved in fun, meaningful, life enriching workshop tasks and activities.

Some common activities include • Conversation • Go out on special Men’s shed days • Reminisce about work days • Tell a few jokes • Assist Staff and help resident • Instigate “hands on” work activities

Broad interests in all things related to hands on woodworking skills is an advantage but not essential. A passion to improve quality of life is a must.

Timing One hour per week for 12 months or longer. We can talk with you about a suitable day and time between Monday to Friday.
