Mayflower Celebrates the Remarkable Contributions of Volunteers during National Volunteer Week

Mayflower recently celebrated National Volunteer Week by expressing their heartfelt gratitude to their wonderful team of dedicated volunteers. The highlight of the week was a special afternoon tea, where volunteers from across Mayflower’s sites were invited to be showered with appreciation.

During the event, each volunteer received a personal gift as a token of gratitude, with those who have volunteered for more than 5, 10 or 20 years receiving a special certificate to mark their years of commitment and dedication.

Mayflower CEO, Stuart Rodney, delivered a heartfelt speech that brought laughter and warmth to the gathering, emphasising the immense value volunteers bring. Joy, gratitude, and love filled the air, reminding everyone of the incredible impact volunteers have in the aged care community.

“We would like to especially acknowledge Rochelle, Christine, Stephanie and Gwen for their 10 years of dedication, and Adeline, Diana and Anna for an incredible 20 years. We salute you.”

Volunteers play a vital role in various areas at Mayflower, from tending gardens and quiz mastery, to running bingo, serving in the gift shop, and with thanks to Adeline, a wonderful kiosk trolley service. A talented photographer even captured the event, preserving the special moments forever.

A generous donation of eight exquisite flower arrangements added an extra touch of beauty to the occasion, and they were gifted as an additional token of appreciation to the volunteers at the end of the event.

Mayflower CEO, Stuart, expressed his gratitude at the event, highlighting the volunteers’ profound impact in connecting with residents. Through their selfless contributions, they combat loneliness and bring a sense of purpose to both themselves and those they support.

Volunteers bring their unique skills and time, enriching the lives of those in aged care.
