The Boroondara Volunteer Resource Centre is advertising this role on behalf of Access Health and Community.

Drop-in is a free lunch for those that are disadvantaged and marginalised living in and around the City of Boroondara. It is more than a meal. We offer people the opportunity to socialise, garden, take part in an iPad group, offer board games for people to play together and link them to other services.

Drop-in takes place every Wednesday from 12pm-3pm. Lunch is served at 1pm. We are looking for volunteers to assist in this program during 2024. We run throughout the year, providing this service every Wednesday. The volunteer role is usually between 9.30am-3:30pm on the Drop-in days.

By joining our team you will be part of a group of fun, relaxed, committed and friendly bunch of people. AccessHC is a large organisation and you will be a member of this. You will contribute to making a difference to the lives of those in need, be able to interact with a variety of people, develop new skills, improve your interpersonal ones, and deliver a community service to the local community. Overall this opportunity will be very rewarding.
