To volunteer with a provider of aged care services, call NINA

Northern Illawarra Neighbour Aid (NINA) was one of 30 organisations with stalls at May’s Volunteering Expo at Wollongong Town Hall.

NINA’s client intake and volunteer coordinator Fiona Lawson reported a “great crowd of interested volunteers”, including corporate volunteers, retirees and people in their 20s looking to volunteer for experience in that field.

“Volunteers need to know why they want to volunteer, this being their volunteer dollars,” Fiona said. “What makes you want to do this? Giving back to the community, keeping busy, meeting new people, helping someone. Then work out what area you want to do this in – aged care, animals, hospital, driving.”

To volunteer with a provider of aged care services, please contact Fiona as NINA has positions available and you may start immediately.

“We are very flexible with your availability and time that you wish to give.”

NINA is at 18 Walker Street, Helensburgh. Phone 4294 1900, visit www.nina.org.au
