Volunteering brings together people who may not otherwise have the opportunity to:
- make a connection
- understand each other’s perspectives and experiences
- develop relationships
- learn from and support each other
Volunteering with CatholicCare allows participants to:
- respond to the needs of the poor, marginalised or isolated in our community
- gain a sense of belonging and influence the direction of their lives
- achieve a greater feeling of self-worth and build confidence
- enjoy an improved sense of wellbeing by meeting new challenges
- expand life experience across diverse areas
- increase social interaction and reduce feelings of personal isolation
- gain skills, access to training and work experience
- demonstrate initiative, drive and dedication
- keep healthy and have fun by being useful
- build a network of contacts
CatholicCare started with just 10 volunteers in 1980. Now with over 80 volunteers, CatholicCare is now able to provide services like:
Pastoral Care
Without volunteers, these services wouldn't be possible, so thank you to all CatholicCare volunteers who work tirelessly for the agency.
