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 allowing us to share all the wonderful ideas that are on Golden Carers. It is so helpful, inspiring and they give our residents so much fun and the feeling of achievement once we have completed them. It is great that we can spread the days out and do a lot over time rather than in one session. THANK YOU ALL
