BASScare was founded by a group of dedicated volunteers in 1957, and volunteers continue to be an indispensable part of our operations. Their incredible support enables us to provide the many valued services our clients rely on. We have a variety of exciting volunteering opportunities at BASScare. If you’re looking for ways to give back to your local community and make a real difference in your neighborhood, we have the perfect role for you. The joy of bringing a smile to an older person’s face when you deliver a hot, nutritious meal or assist with an exercise class or activity is immeasurable.

We have a vibrant group of dedicated volunteers and are grateful for their generous assistance, but we are always looking for more help.

As a volunteer you will be part of our team. You will be supported at all times by our care staff.

Volunteers have been an integral part of the development of BASScare and continue to make an outstanding contribution to the broad range of services we offer our clients. Volunteering opportunities include:

  • Social Activities & Programs
  • Dementia Support at Maranoa House and Club
  • Residential Care Lifestyle Programs at Faversham House
  • Meals on Wheels

Benefits of Volunteering

With busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. However, the benefits of volunteering can be enormous. It provides an invaluable service for our clients, but the benefits can be even greater for you, the volunteer.

Volunteering doesn’t need to involve a long-term commitment or take a huge amount of time out of your busy day. Giving in even simple ways can help those in need and improve your health and happiness. Volunteering can affect you positively by:

  • Sense of connection to your community
  • Being beneficial for your mind and body
  • May advance your career
