Volunteers
Snowy Hydro SouthCare
co-ordinate many public relations activities and events
throughout the year to raise awareness and funds that are vital
to keeping the Rescue Helicopter in the air, saving lives - the
success and continuance of these activities and events are
reliant on the Snowy Hydro SouthCare Volunteers.
Snowy Hydro SouthCare volunteers play an extremely important role in providing support and assistance at our major annual events; Base Open Day, Gala Dinner & Auction and the Corporate Golf Day as well as helping with the Canberra Milk School Visit Program, barbecues and merchandise and information stands.
The rewards for volunteering with Snowy Hydro SouthCare are endless; not only are there many opportunities to meet wonderful people and enjoy new and unique experiences but you can feel proud that every time you see Snowy Hydro SouthCare fly overhead, your support has meant that the patient inside will get the best of care.
Volunteer, Russ Whitty (pictured), speaks about the Snowy Hydro SouthCare Volunteer program.
"I see the service as an essential resource for the region, and
I am proud to be associated with it.
Keeping the helicopter flying requires a good deal of funding,
so all of our fund-raising activities are important. At the
same time, there is a good spirit among the volunteers so that
we enjoy what we are doing, be it a sausage sizzle or office
work. I get the most pleasure from the opportunities to
bring the helicopter to the public such as Base Open Day and
primary school visits, these help a lot to raise community
awareness of the service".
