Care South is in desperate need of of volunteers for the Aunties and Uncles program. Now I have to say I’m a volunteer and it’s pretty rewarding knowing your helping someone who needs a hand.

Care South’s Aunties & Uncles Program is a very successful early intervention Program that links community Volunteer Carers with children aged from 3 – 12 years who may be stressed, vulnerable and/or isolated.

Volunteer Aunties and Uncles care for and mentor a child who spends at least one weekend a month with them.

Volunteer Carers generally develop long-term relationships with these children, providing friendship, mentoring and role modelling.

The minimum contact is just one weekend a month – but makes a world of difference to each child. so give them a call and get some more information
