Donors & Volunteers

A truly inspirational group of people

Speak to any of our volunteers and you will always find a moving and motivating story.  Here, some of our volunteers talk about why they chose to be part of Lyndoch Living:

Colin – Lake Lodge Nursing Home and Men’s Group Volunteer

“Simply reading to a resident can really stimulate conversation, and bringing in any new or different things for them to look at always gets a great reaction.”  

“We used to be farmers and have never done anything like this before – you get enormous satisfaction from it”

Beth – Day Centre Volunteer

“When I first started, I didn’t know how I was going to contribute, but I quickly found my place at Lyndoch Living”

“I love when the clients ask – When are you coming back?”

Charlie – KT Swinton Hostel Volunteer

“My wife and I spent two years travelling around Australia.  When I bring in photos or the map of our touring route I’m guaranteed to spark memories and conversation with the residents.”

“I reckon I get more out of it than they do.”

Robert – Audrey Prider Centre Volunteer

“After coming to visit Mum during her time at Lyndoch, I soon discovered I had a lot to offer the other residents.”  

“Now I come in and play old time records – it’s great to see them really get into it, clapping their hands and tapping their feet.”
