Do you want to:
- make a positive difference?
- meet new people and make friends?

At Enliven we're looking for kind, personable volunteers to help transport senior day programme clients to and from their homes. This collection and return service covers the whole of Christchurch and often involves two runs. *No driving is involved.*

Minivan assistants help the driver by guiding clients on and off the minibus and attending to seatbelts.

When: Weekdays. Volunteers usually commit to assisting twice a month in the morning and afternoon. Morning run: 8:30am–10:00am. Afternoon run: 2:45pm–4:00pm.
Where: The day programmes are located in Riccarton and Linwood
For how long: 4 months minimum, please.
Skills required: A good level of fitness, good communication skills, and sensitivity to the needs of older people with age-related disabilities.

If you're interested or would just like to learn more, please contact Roni Jordan on 03-313-8588 or e-mail ronij@psusi.org.nz.
