Volunteer Opportunities
MWP Care was established and built by volunteers and to this day volunteering is an essential part of our DNA and embraced as a core value.
We offer a number of interesting volunteer opportunities to support the frail aged residents, including accompanying them to social or medical appointments, taking them on shopping or social outings, calling or visiting them. MWP Care’s clients typically live in the Manly, Warringah and Pittwater local government areas.
