The Boroondara Volunteer Resource Centre is advertising this role on behalf of St Oswald's Anglican Church.

St. Oswald’s Anglican Church in Glen Iris is a community based parish that embraces and cares for people of all ages, and has a vision to thrive as a welcoming Christian church community. We have a plan to grow the many community-based activities, which are not of a specifically religious nature, in which we are involved, and are looking for the help of like-minded volunteers to give a little of their time and expertise to enable us to achieve this. The Arts4Older People program provides a creative social activity for older people in a welcoming environment outside their normal everyday experience on a monthly basis. The opportunity to participate in an enjoyable creative activity, such as music, singing, storytelling or art, is combined with socializing, conversation and a light meal. It aims to enhance the life experience of older people who may have limited opportunities to participate in normal social activities.
