Our Volunteers

“The people we volunteer alongside each week are a real family to us and that’s very important.”

No use-by date

“Just because you are retired or older,” says Gateway Care volunteer Ros Elms, “doesn’t mean you have a use-by date in God’s kingdom.” When Ros and her husband Len retired nearly three years ago, they continued their lifelong practice of volunteering time and skills to their church community. “Being part of the Gateway Care team is like being part of a family. If you are sitting at home and not getting out, you miss out on the camaraderie of being part of a team.”
