We have a number of really exciting Volunteering opportunities available at BASScare. If you are looking for ways of giving back to your local community and to truly make a difference in your neighbourhood we have just the role for you. The feel good factor of bringing a smile to the face of an older person when you drop off a hot nutritious meal or assist with an exercise class or an activity is immeasurable.

Benefits of Volunteering
With busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. However, the benefits of volunteering can be enormous. It provides an invaluable service for our clients, but the benefits can be even greater for you, the volunteer.
Volunteering doesn’t need to involve a long-term commitment or take a huge amount of time out of your busy day. Giving in even simple ways can help those in need and improve your health and happiness. Volunteering can affect you positively by:
- Sense of connection to your community
- Being beneficial for your mind and body
- May advance your career
