Hornsby Shire Volunteering

Hornsby Shire Volunteering

If you would like to help your council and get to know people in your community, volunteer for one of its volunteer programs.

You could work as a Bushcare volunteer and help to conserve and rehabilitate the shire's bushland. Bushcare volunteers usually meet once a month for a three-hour work session. If you like gardening, you can work at one of the community gardens. You’ll grow herbs, vegetables and fruit. You can make new friends, learn new skills, and save money.

If you prefer, you can visit frail older people to stay in their own homes. You’ll help with driving, delivering meals, and gardening. You can also assist in the Waitara Wellness Centre, leading the older people in activities or simply keeping them company by chatting to them.

It’s a wonderful way to give back to people in need of a helping hand and meet like-minded people.
