Thank you to our volunteers

We have such a great team who support what we do at Parklea Branching Out in lots of different ways, and we genuinely couldn't do as much without them.

In the last year, 47 volunteers gave up 3455 hours of their free time to PBO activities! That's a whopping 143 days if you worked 24 hours a day!

We celebrated with a lunch yesterday, which gave us the opportunity to express our gratitude and share updates about the exciting new developments at PBO!

Even Santa came along to join us.

Quotes from volunteers about the benefits of their time spent include:

● "People-friends-fun-kindness"

●"Getting to know the clients & what makes them happy brings me such joy & and gratitude."

●"My time at Parklea is my therapy. I can feel my shoulders drop as soon as I walk in the gates. "

●"I love seeing happy smiling faces every week."
