Volunteer
Our volunteers are an invaluable part of the Inner West Neighbour Aid community. They contribute their time and skills to support clients who are most in need.
Volunteering at Inner West Neighbour Aid is fun, challenging and rewarding. We are interested in working with people who share our community spirit. We offer flexibility, support and relevant training.
We also have opportunities to help maintain our 5 Senses Garden in Rhodes Park.

Dog Walking
Our dog walking program supports clients who have a dog that will benefit from extra exercise.
Our walkers often form a bond with clients based on their mutual love of dogs.
• Walk a dog in the Inner West on a regular basis
• Help someone maintain their independence
• Get some fresh air and exercise

Outings
Our outings are in and around Sydney from Monday-Friday and every second Saturday. They are for clients who prefer to go out in a group. They gain confidence, make new friends and remain active and visible in the community.
Volunteer with us if you enjoy helping others, meeting people and getting out and about.
• Assist the staff member on the bus to collect and drop off clients
• Assist with ordering meals and refreshments
• Help clients who have mobility, sight or hearing impairment
• Have a friendly chat and socialising with the clients
The day is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
Visiting
Our visiting program supports clients who find it difficult to get out of their home into the community. Clients look forward to and gain confidence from social interaction in a familiar setting.
Volunteer with us if you are interested in using your social skills to help someone maintain their independence.
Volunteers are carefully matched with clients based on interests, experiences and outlook on life. Visits are relaxed and social. You might chat, reminisce, listen to music, read the paper or play card games.
