FOR Kaye Clark, helping others and supporting the community is something she has always loved to do. 

She recently joined the Centacare Moreton Bay Community Services team as a volunteer after moving to the Sunshine Coast, but for many years has given generously of her time to a range of community organisations across Tasmania and the Gold Coast. 

Ms Clark is one of 10,000 volunteers across the Brisbane archdiocese being celebrated this week as part of National Volunteer Week, which runs from May 17-23. 

“I have been very fortunate in my life which makes me want to give back to the community, and volunteering is a great way to do this,” Ms Clark said.

Ms Clark said she has enjoyed her time at Centacare and loves the variety her role brings and getting to know clients.

“Working with our clients is so rewarding, they’re all extremely grateful for the service we provide and have such interesting stories to tell about their life and day-to-day living,” she said.

Not only does Ms Clark enjoy getting to know her clients, she also loves the support she gets from the team at Moreton Bay.

“The management team have been brilliant,” Ms Clark said.

“They’re so helpful and willing to spend time with me if assistance is needed which has enabled me to broaden my horizons in the role.

“No two days are the same – I get to assist with social outings, morning and afternoon teas, administration and transport.”
