Wednesday Club Volunteer

Welcome to the volunteer program at Dhelkaya Health. Our volunteers provide invaluable support to staff and enhance the quality of life of our patients, residents and community members.

Dhelkaya Health Social Support Services activity groups are designed to help adults maintain their independence, build social connection and work towards their health goals.

The Wednesday Club is a quieter group aimed at those with higher support needs. Centre-based with meal included.

Volunteers facilitate social interaction between clients and with individual clients.

• Encourage and support participation in activities, as appropriate.
• Promote individual choice and decision making through focusing on individual strengths, preferences and interests.
• Encourage and support clients to maintain activities of daily life by doing with rather than doing for.
• Ensure client safety, confidentiality and privacy at all times.
• Be aware of group dynamics and assist quieter clients to engage with group activities.
• Refrain from sharing own personal problems/difficulties with clients.
• Assist with meal and beverage preparation, serving and cleaning up, as required.
