Volunteer Tip of the Week

Holiday Leave

With your help, we assist hundreds of families each week through the many wonderful services we provide.  To help us maintain our service levels, it is really important we have as much notice as possible when you are taking leave.  Advance notice allows us to try to fill your shift.  In some instances there have been multiple people away on the same day or shift, and we go from having five on shift to two.  This has an impact of the service and assistance we are able to provide.

 

Each area has a diary where you write your planned leave, so please let us know about your holiday leave in advance so we can continue to work wonders for the families that need us the most.
