Volunteer Community
Volunteers are one of Hawkesbury Living’s most valuable assets and their services contribute to our quality of care.
Are you a caring person who has a lot to give to others? Are you looking for a rewarding new challenge? With the help of volunteers, we can extend and enhance the many services and activities offered to our residents. We're always appreciative of our volunteers' time, regardless of how much or how little time is provided. Even an hour or two a week is a big help. Most of our residential services have active and invaluable programs run by volunteers.
Why volunteer?

- Producing and distributing newsletters
- Assisting with additional daily life tasks eg make up, hairstyling, hand massages
