Volunteering at Sundial Care Home is about connection, purpose, and belonging. It gives you the chance to meet people you might never have crossed paths with and to build relationships that often last a lifetime. Our home is a family, and when you volunteer, you become part of it – spending time with our residents, who we fondly call family members, sharing conversations and activities, and discovering a renewed sense of purpose and belonging yourself.
Many of our volunteers begin by visiting with loved ones, and when that journey comes to a close, they choose to remain. They tell us that being part of the community helps them feel close, connected and comforted, while giving back in a meaningful way. Volunteering has a way of easing loss and creating purpose, because it allows you to stay part of something bigger than yourself.
Our family members, who have lived through incredible moments of history, welcome volunteers into their lives. They share stories, laughter, and memories, turning everyday moments whether planting flowers, enjoying a walk or simply having a chat, into something special. The friendships formed are often described as an extension of family.
What skills do you need?
You do not need any specific skills or qualifications to be a friend to someone. A kind heart is all that is needed. After being supported through an induction in the home, you will then be introduced you to our family members.
How much time do you need to commit?
You can spend as much or as little time with us as you would like! That is the beauty of volunteering, the choice is entirely yours.
