Tintinara volunteer Naomi (far left): “A friend asked me to jump on board as an on-road volunteer and I thought why not! I was worried I wouldn’t have the time, but somehow I’ve found the time. Even if you think you only have a few spare hours a week, just come and have a chat with us. The skills I have learned mean I can provide a service to my community wherever I am.” Learn about how we can fit volunteering around your life, come to the Tintinara open day, Friday 6 January 4:30pm-7:30pm (Helling Terrace, Tintinara).
