Hi Wendy, We brought all our volunteers little glass angels from a cheap shop (reject cheap as chips etc) & they come in a nice box only $2 each & picked a small posy of flowers for them all & invited them to have lunch with the residents. I talked with kitchen staff & came up with a nice meal & the volunteers loved it. You could also take just the volunteers out for a coffee & cake this way they don't have to do anything, they can be waited on. As for male volunteers! Im at a loss myself & am waiting for replies. Hope this helps, Kind regards Fiona
Thank you so much for such an awesome resource and to everyone for sharing their ideas. It takes the pressure off and allows more time to be spent with the ones we are caring for who after all need our time more than anything else. I am looking forward to reading as much as I can get my hands on and finding ways to improve the lives of our valuable community members and bring some sunshine in. Much appreciated :)
