"I volunteer 5 days a week to help out with the busy breakfast 'drop-in' session. I like volunteering at SIFA Fireside as it keeps me young, and I enjoy the company of clients, staff and other volunteers who value me for the work I do. If I didn't volunteer at SIFA Fireside, I'd be bored and growing old a bit too gracefully!" |
Benefits of volunteering

- Give something back to the community
- Learn and develop new skills
- Utilise and improve existing skills
- Enhance your health and well being
- Meet new people and develop lasting contacts
- Work as part of a friendly and committed team
