Irish Red Cross – Looking for Volunteers to give Therapeutic Hand Care

Irish Red Cross looking for volunteers to give

 Therapeutic Hand Care  in the care facilities of Millstreet area.

 

The Irish Red Cross community support team is well established in Millstreet/ Kanturk Community Hospitals. We would like new members to join our team.

 

Full training will be given, and one becomes a member of Irish Red Cross.

Safeguarding and garda vetting will be provided.

 

No past experience is needed, and volunteers will be trained to give a thorough and safe therapeutic hand care and massage to residents in the local hospitals and other venues in our locality.  Provision of the service can help promote a sense of wellbeing for clients and a regular friendly visit from a local community volunteer.

 

The relaxing effects of the massage is very beneficial, especially for those with painful or stiff joints, it can improve flexibility and suppleness, boost morale of patient and it’s a means of communication through touch and spending time with the person is the most valuable aspect of the service.

 

We also get involved with other events locally or regionally.

If you are interested in finding out more about this established service in our area,

please contact

Margaret Crean on   087 2212864 .
