Volunteer

The Spastic Centre's volunteers are a highly esteemed group of individuals who support special events and/or major appeals.

Volunteers have always played a vital role in the recreation programs at The Spastic Centre.
Volunteers can become involved in a variety of activities at various levels of the organisation. The main objective of a successful volunteer placement is to achieve personal satisfaction and to have fun.

In order to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all clients, employees, volunteers and visitors to The Spastic Centre, criminal record checks will be conduced on all new volunteers and again every two years. View the form ( PDF).
