Celebrating our volunteers at Arcare Pimpama

The volunteers at Arcare Pimpama were treated to a well-deserved BBQ lunch to say thank you for their contributions to the Arcare clients, team members and the Pimpama community.

Arcare Pimpama has 11 amazing volunteers, each with their own unique talents.

We celebrated National Volunteer Week with our volunteers, Lynda Miller, Russell Linwood ASM, Judy Linwood and Cheryl Ogden.

Our volunteers have established new friendships within the residence and continue to enrich the lives of our elderly community.

Whether it’s through craft, games, ladies’ clubs, men’s yarn, spiritual or religious support, they truly make a difference in the lives of many clients.

And many of the clients have expressed their sincere gratitude and deep appreciation for all their efforts.

They feel really blessed to have the additional support for their individual needs and preferences.

Judy Linwood: “As volunteers, we were positively overwhelmed with the effort Adel and Megan put into this BBQ lunch. They arranged certificates of appreciation, volunteer badges and individual gifts and cards. None of us expected this and we were somewhat overwhelmed by the wonderful surprise. Thank you from us all!”

Cheryl Ogden: “We all have come such a long way since the residence opened in October last year. It was a learning curve for us all but we are so happy that we soldiered on. We truly have an amazing time when we visit and we agree it is wonderful to be part of something so beautiful, as we always leave feeling accomplish. It is so nice to make a difference.”
