NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK APRIL 16-22 CELEBRATING VOLUNTEERS Volunteers are at the core of the work we do at the Palliative Care Society of the Bow Valley. As a non-profit society, we rely on these committed and passionate people to help us achieve our mission and vision to bring palliative care to the Bow Valley. We can't imagine what we would do without such supporters!
PCSBV IS GROWING STRONG
Meeting the Needs of the Community
Three years ago, PCSBV turned its attention to creating community-based palliative/grief support programs. Since that time our volunteer team and our programs have gone from strength to strength. We now have nearly 50 volunteers enrolled in our client- care support program, have received our 100th client referral this month, and have our sights set on creating two focused volunteer teams: dementia care, and grief practitioners. To continue to meet the needs of our Bow Valley community, we are expanding our staff team to add a fulltime Volunteer Coordinator. Bill Harder will continue to oversee the programs and volunteers and take the lead in the development of the programs and supports we provide. Day to day client-care and volunteer team management will move to the Volunteer Coordinator. Our hope is to have this up and running this spring.
The PCSBV staff would like to take a special moment to say thank you to our volunteers. We have grown to be a rather large team; including our Board of Directors, committee members, event volunteers and client-care volunteers we boast a crew of 85 people committed to palliative, end-of life and grief care in the Bow Valley! We are holding a Volunteer Appreciation Event for our wonderful crew of volunteers to celebrate the generous gifts of time and talent they contribute to nurturing the quality of life for our clients, their families, our colleagues and our supporters.
