ENJOY a joy ride with a difference by taking seniors on day trips around Greater Shepparton and beyond as a volunteer minibus driver at Shepparton Villages.
Residents enjoying retirement living at Shepparton Villages have three minibuses available to go on trips far and wide with shopping, sightseeing, and adventures for everyone.
The opportunities provided by the buses are particularly welcomed by residents within the residential aged care centres at each of the group’s three villages, for people who are often not able to get out into the general community as much as they’d like.
But they need volunteer drivers to help these residents get the most out of retirement.
If you or someone you know enjoys driving people around and have some free time to help those in need, Shepparton Villages would love to hear from you.
Shepparton Villages can help with the necessary checks and clearances you need and there’s no need for a special driving licence, just a good driving record. If this sounds like you or someone you know, phone (03) 5832 0800 or email info@sheppvillages.com.au.
If bus driving is not your thing, another healthy option on offer at present is the chance to help out in a vegie garden run by residents at Banksia Lodge, part of the Kialla Gardens Village. If you can spare an hour or two from time to time, enjoy gardening and would like to do your bit to help more senior citizens to stay active outdoors, Shepparton Villages would LOVE to hear from you. Email banksiadt@sheppvillages.com.au or call (03) 5823 9900.
