🎄Volunteer Christmas Function🎄
Yesterday’s rain didn’t dampen our amazing volunteers' spirits at our Volunteer Christmas get-together.
There was hardly a pause in the chatter as everything was moved inside without fuss. Great to see so many of our amazing team enjoying each other’s company.
Shout out to Ashburton U-Hire who donated the wine glasses for our function and Mike from Netherby Meats who did a great deal on our ham.
Thanks for the lovely food and drinks. It was great meeting so many of the volunteers! :-)
Was a lovely get-together, thankyou
Say hello to our wonderful volunteer, Alison! 👋🏼Alison has always worked with people in her profession as a physiotherapist and in retirement she uses all those skills and experience in her work as an assessor for Hospice Mid Canterbury. Assessors play a key role in the service, often being the first point of contact for clients. Alison gets a great deal of satisfaction helping clients and their families, offering practical advice and ensuring they know about all the services on offer. She has been part of the Hospice team for 3 ½ years: “I enjoy working with people who want to give a better quality of life to clients and their families in a time of need.”
What wonderful work you do Alison
