"Peninsula Villages is delighted to have a loyal and dedicated team of almost 100 volunteers who assist with everything from day-to-day activities for our residents, to assisting with the village bus, our meal delivery service, care support, resident leisure and engagement, events and administration.

"We are now seeking additional volunteers to assist our residents in our high care facility, Jack Aldous House, specifically at lunch times to assist with meal support," Mr Neaves said.

Suitable volunteers for this role would be provided with volunteer training, including understanding correct, safe and appropriate way to assist our residents at meal times and training about the organisation's values.
