BECOME A VOLUNTEER

We need you!

We are now recruiting volunteers to support patients in the St George and Sutherland area.

As a CanCare volunteer you will be able to register with us to help someone navigate their cancer journey with some of the “little things” that need doing. Even if its just a visit, chat or a coffee.

Some of the thing we help with include

  • Practical help
      • Finding transport,
      • Food & shopping errands
      • Arranging medication deliveries
  • Arranging for
      • Cleaning or gardening
      • Jobs around the house
      • Legal or financial assistance
  • General companionship
      • Getting out for walks or a coffee
      • Shopping, errands
      • Phone support
  • Help finding other support services.

 

Anyone who has had a cancer diagnosis faces many challenges, and everything gets harder when you don’t have the support you need. Research shows that a person with cancer who is well supported and has their needs addressed will have a higher quality of life and better health outcomes.

As a CanCare volunteer you can either help with the occasional job or errand, or stay in touch, offering support and companionship.  

A little help can go a long way.

Whether it’s just an occasional job, like transport to hospital or picking up some shopping, your support can make such a big difference to someone in need.
