Red Cross Companionship and Social Support Program

Published 23 Mar 2020, 1:31 pm, by Lydia Gibson

Having good social connections is essential for all aspects of your health. Red Cross volunteers support the most vulnerable to improve their social connections and connect with their community for their wellbeing.

Although you may not be able to get involved with home visits, social outings and group activities due to the current climate. You can bring a smile to someone's face just by engaging with them regularly with a social chat on the phone!

Volunteering and Covid-19

Due to the evolving COVID-19 situation ECU is postponing all physical volunteering events and programs for the foreseeable future. This is to assist with carrying out social distancing recommendations in order to safeguard the health and wellbeing of our staff and students.

The health and wellbeing of both the ECU community and external parties are at the forefront of our thoughts in these times.

It is however crucial that we as a community stay connected with those in need and actively participate in safe volunteering opportunities.

As a community we recognise the effect isolation is going to have on our society in the coming months. We are endeavouring to bring as many virtual volunteering opportunities to you so that we can continue to contribute and engage in volunteer activities, under the parameters defined by the current situation.

IMPORTANT NOTE:If you are already engaged in volunteering activities outside of the ECU volunteer program please ensure you are aware of your rights and responsibilities as a volunteer by visiting Volunteering Australia website.
