Volunteers

Volunteers are essential to the operation of progammes run by Myrtle Cottage.  Without the assistance of volunteers we would be unable to offer the level of support to members that is required for them to participate fully in the varies actitivites.

Volunteers participate in the areas they feels most comfortable while assisting members where they need it the most.  The types of volunteer activities include: driving buses (C class or LR Licence required), assisting drivers during transport of members, kitchen duties, assisting members with crafts or games, cleaning of the building, general maintenance  and other activities.

How to become a Volunteer

You can become a volunteer by contacting the Assistant Manager (refer to 'Contact Us'  for details.  The Assistant Manager will provide details of the next scheduled Volunteer Induction (normally every 2 weeks except during December and January).  The Induction will take up to 2 hours depending on the number of people attending and questions raised.  It will give you the basic information about Myrtle Cottage including polices and procedures.  You will be provided with a manual outlining the details covered during the induction.

If after the induction you wish to become a volunteer with Myrtle Cottage, the best day to attend, programme and areas of assistance that suits you as well as Myrtle Cottage will be discussed.  Then a start time and date will be arranged with you.
