You know how important it is to keep up your health, and healthy ageing is one of our greatest focuses in Residential Care to keep residents living healthily with a good quality of life.

Volunteers have many skills and life experiences that can help our residents with healthy ageing and in a Health & Wellness role you can be involved in:

- Fit ball drumming
- Walking groups
- Supporting within our Health and Wellness Centre
- Wheelchair use - supporting residents to and from the gym
