Volunteers

Without the support of our volunteers, numerous hospital activities may be unable to run. Volunteers contribute to the leisure, interest and activities programs under the direction of the Lakeside Living, Activities Co-ordinator or the Day Centre Co-ordinator. By assisting with these programs volunteers contribute to the lifestyle and wellbeing of our residents and clients.

Each volunteer brings a diverse range of knowledge, skills and experience based on his or her life experience, employment history and knowledge. The volunteer co-ordinator is happy to discuss ways you could assist EDMH by becoming a volunteer.

Each area of EDMH runs different lifestyle programs, some of the ways you could be involved are:

Areas you can work as a volunteer

Elsie Bennett Community Centre

Assist Grampians Health Edenhope staff to run games, crafts and/or cooking sessions, attend day trips as an assistant or driver (bus drivers required). Share your interests with clients, walk, read or be a willing listener. The Elsie Bennett Community Centre provides for a range of community groups, including the Adult Day Centre, Disabled Adults Group and various exercise groups.

Lakeside Living

Walk, read, listen and talk to our residents. Assist the EDMH Diversional Therapists with their programs by being an extra pair of hands or eyes. Assist residents by driving them to appointments or social outings. Our staff would be happy to consider any ideas you have that may be appropriate for a Residential Aged Care Setting and will discuss this with you.

While some of our residents may not be as mobile there are still numerous ways to help out. Residents have access to an amazing outdoor garden area and can be taken on wheelchair walks. Assist the Diversional Therapists with their activity program, or just spend time with residents one on one or in small groups.

Grampians Health Edenhope is always looking for drivers, both car and bus.

By joining the team of volunteers at Grampians Health Edenhope you contribute directly to the lifestyle and wellbeing of our residents and clients.
