MHA Care will organise an interview with you when you offer your help. In the interview, we will discuss what we expect from you and what you can expect from us. We will request references and undertake a police check (at MHA Care's cost).
New volunteers receive an induction into their new role, and experienced volunteers who have been involved for a while will share some of their experience and advice.
Meals on Wheels volunteers deliver meals to MHA Care clients, either using their own car, or acting as a partner to another volunteer (deliveries are done in pairs).
Planned Activity Group volunteers assist clients with activities and social outings.
Moira Foodshare volunteers assist with sorting and distributing food and goods and assisting customers.
Opportunity Shop volunteers sort and distribute goods and assist customers with purchases.
