Day-to-day tasks are diverse as each week is different and the needs of individual guests vary too. Socialising is a very important aspect of volunteering, so much of your time will be spent enjoying the holiday with guests - going out on day trips, having meals and drinks and watching our great entertainment or TV. There may also be kitchen/domestic duties required.
Our volunteers come from all walks of life and form a crucial part of the Vitalise team, ensuring our guests have a special holiday experience. Some volunteers stay for a week or two, whereas others stay for several months. It's up to you how much time you give.
