In every corner of our community, you will find quiet moments of kindness: a volunteer sharing a laugh with a resident, reading a favourite book, or helping set up for an afternoon activity. These small acts of care form the heart of our home, reminding us that connection is as vital as care itself.
The Heartbeat of Our Community
Volunteers bring warmth, energy, and diversity to daily life at Leigh Place. Some visit weekly to share stories or music; others lend a hand at events like our fete or gardening days. Each gives something unique; time, talent, and friendship – that enriches the lives of residents in countless ways.
Our volunteers include people from all walks of life: retirees, students, family members, and community partners. What unites them is a shared commitment to bringing joy and companionship to others. As one volunteer recently said, “You come here to give, but you always leave feeling like you’ve received more.”
The Power of Human Connection
For residents, these relationships foster belonging and emotional well-being. Whether it is reminiscing over a cup of tea, joining a singalong, or tending to the garden together, the presence of volunteers helps create meaningful moments and strengthens the sense of community that defines our service.
Volunteering also has a ripple effect; uplifting not just residents, but staff and visitors as well. It reminds everyone that aged care is about people, purpose, and shared humanity.
Thank You to Our Volunteers
