Women’s Centre Volunteers are crucial to the sustainability of the Women’s Centre Program, contributing their skills, time, and energy to expand the opportunities for women. These include opportunities to develop their skills, and receive services such as massages and hairdressing, which would otherwise be inaccessible. Our volunteer team of eight outstanding and inspiring women provides over 320 hours of services each year, ensuring the Women’s Centre offers a diverse range of services that go beyond basic needs, fostering dignity, empowerment, and wellbeing. The impact of the Women’s Centre volunteer team goes far beyond the valuable services they provide – they are role models who demonstrate that our clients are deserving of compassion and are valued and supported. Our volunteers inspire the women to look higher and begin to learn new skills, try new things, heal, and rebuild their lives.
John has volunteered at Catherine House for 15 years.
Garden and Handyman Volunteer Team Our Garden and Handyman volunteer team are essential to our programs. We have a gardening team that consists of four wonderful, knowledgeable, and energetic individuals who maintain our garden spaces. In the last year, our volunteer gardeners have generously shared over 100 hours of their time, to provide calming, open, colourful spaces for our residents to enjoy. We’d like to make a special mention of our Handyman, John, who in 2024 celebrated 15 years of volunteer service with Catherine House. Congratulations, John. John supports our programs by sharing his extensive knowledge and practical experience. From fixing leaking taps, to hanging a painting or a staff pin board, installing hooks for our Christmas lights, or anything else we may need.
