Volunteers
We have over 70 wonderful volunteers at David Gresham House. They come from all walks of life and all enjoy spending time with our Residents, be it helping out with activities, taking them shopping or to doctors’ appointments, organising and participating in a multitude of social events, or simply just spending time chatting to them.
Volunteers come in every day in the mornings and afternoons to serve the Residents tea or coffee. They are much appreciated and an essential factor of the Abbeyfield ethos of care and integration within the David Gresham House community.
