Volunteer champions aged care

Snells Beach’s Brenda Yoxall is the National Dignity Champion of the Month for Age Concern.

The Dignity Champion title is awarded each month to a volunteer who has promoted the rights and wellbeing of the elderly, and has helped to combat loneliness by building relationships in the community. Brenda has been a volunteer with Age Concern Rodney since 2011 and has been visiting one of her senior friends each week for the last eight years.

She is also a support person for a senior friend and assists if they get lost or lock themselves out of their home. Brenda received a gift basket and a chilly bin of goodies from Tomorrow’s Meals.
