Volunteers at work

7 Dec 2018

Thank you to our hard working craft ladies, who were front and centre at the Christmas Craft Fair, recently. Mary Seles and Elsie Di Bella were among the hard-working crew who attended, helping people find that special something for that special someone. Thank you also, to everyone who supported health services in FNQ, with a purchase!

The OPERA ward held a morning tea for all the wonderful volunteers to say a massive thank you for helping out on the ward throughout the year.  The volunteers included the Foundation REVIVE who have a rolling program visiting patients throughout the week, engaging in conversation, assisting with feeding and generally cheering patients up and orientating them to their surroundings.

Who says Bookweek is only for little kids? Our Playscheme volunteer Jessica Alexandratos shows big kids can have just as much fun with this great week of celebrating books, as the little ones.
