Volunteers

Community Advice operates a flexible roster of approximately 25 volunteers who man the office in Community House from 9am to 3pm Monday to Friday. Volunteers typically work once or twice a week from either 9am to 12am or 12 am to 3pm working in pairs. If you’d like to apply for a volunteer role with us, then please; CLICK HERE.

Community Advice also manages the roster for Meals On Wheels in the Alexandra area. Meals On Wheels volunteers typically deliver meals once every 3 or 4 weeks, picking up the meals which are provided by Dunstan Hospital at Community House. This takes about an hour, so if you’d like to apply for a volunteer role with Meals On Wheels, then please: CLICK HERE.

Community Advice coordinates a volunteer driver service where volunteer drivers pick up members of the community who do not have access to a vehicle or public transport and drive them to medical appointments, library, banks etc. in Alexandra and Clyde in return for a small donation. This operates Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.If you’d like to become a volunteer driver please CLICK HERE
