Three cheers FOR VOLUNTEERS Volunteers are the great unsung heroes of many of our Hall & Prior homes, giving their time and compassion freely and regularly in WA and NSW. Margaret Rainer is one such volunteer and this is her incredible story.
E
very year, people from all walks of life around the world take time to volunteer and make a huge difference to their communities. Here in Australia, we celebrated National Volunteer Week (NVW) in May, Australia’s largest annual celebration of volunteering. Hall & Prior homes in New South Wales and Western Australia welcome many volunteers each year into their homes to spend

some quality time with our residents. The gift of time is one of the most precious gifts a person can share - and our volunteers do this selflessly, every day of the year. One such amazing volunteer is Margaret Rainer, a longstanding friend of the Menaville Aged Care Home located in Rockdale, Sydney. Margaret is one of those incredible souls who offers genuine, kind and positive time and attention to the residents of the home, and this is her story, in her own words.
