Help Greendale House Palliative & Hospice Care (HospiceWits) with 20 volunteers for Patients with life-limiting illnesses (Adults)
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
Simple baked items (biscuits, cupcakes, muffins) can be made at our kitchens in Houghton and Soweto and dropped off for distribution. These are shared with patients receiving home care, as well as some IPU patients, many of whom would not otherwise afford such items. Here we ask partners to contribute the ingredients for baking the treats. Teams can also include handwritten messages of support with the packages.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
