VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Giving back to the community
Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital is looking for community members to spare a day or two to be a volunteer and help patients, families and staff. The Pink Ladies and Men Auxiliary is looking for new members to join and help run the volunteer’s Pink Shop at the hospital. The shop is a much-loved part of the hospital which sells home-made items from the volunteers, gifts, toiletries and snacks. The shop is the key fundraising program for the hospital, donating over $100,000 in equipment in 2024. Long-time volunteers Kathryn and Lyn have worked in the shop for many years and enjoy the camaraderie with her fellow Pink Ladies and Men. “Volunteering in the shop and supporting patients and staff for 7 years has been my way of giving back to the hospital that means so much to me. The gratitude and smiles I receive are the greatest rewards”. Lyn, Pink Shop Volunteer. “Over the last 18 years of volunteering, I’ve cherished the connections with patients and carers, fulfilling their needs. The profits we generate go back to the hospital, enabling us to purchase vital clinical equipment for the patients.” Kathryn –Pink Ladies and Male Volunteers, Auxiliary President and Pink Shop Volunteer. Volunteers are needed for one half day or full day on a weekly or fortnightly basis within the Pink Volunteer Shop. If you would like to express your interest in volunteering within the Pink Volunteer Shop, or any other area of the hospital, contact Briony Calvi, Support Services Manager via briony.calvi@health.nsw.gov.au or call 9485 6422.
