Life is in the moments. At Whiddon we believe every moment counts—especially the ones spent enriching lives, making meaningful connections, and creating memorable experiences. 

Just an hour a week - or as much as you like - is all it takes to create these moments with others. We’re looking for passionate volunteers to join our team at Kyogle and make a real impact in the lives of those we serve.

We Have Exciting Opportunities for Volunteers:

• Shed Legends: Step into the Men’s Shed and help facilitate creative projects, repair, craft, and share stories in a vibrant, community-focused space.
• Garden Gurus: Get your hands dirty in the garden and help create beautiful outdoor spaces for residents to relax and enjoy nature.
• Wellness Warriors: Lead fun activities like arts and crafts, fitness walks, and nail care sessions to help residents stay active, relaxed, and connected.
• Moment Makers: Create meaningful moments through engaging conversations, games, and activities that bring joy and connection to residents and clients.
• Paw-sitive Companions: Bring your friendly, well-behaved dog to visit residents and create emotional connections through pet therapy and unconditional love.
• The Connection Crew: Help residents stay connected with their loved ones and the world through technology, assisting with video calls and organizing social materials.
• Celebration Squad: Help coordinate and support special events like BBQs, theme days, and staff celebrations, ensuring every moment is unforgettable!
