We asked some of our volunteers why they volunteer at the Busselton Health Study
“I have known about the Busselton Health Study for many years and think it’s great so I enjoy helping with it. I feel I also have the time to help” (Sally, BPMRI volunteer since 2020)
“I have been a participant for many years. When the opportunity to assist came up I offered up my services” (Karen, BPMRI volunteer since 2021)
“I wanted to do something useful and interesting in the Busselton community since retiring” (Pat, BPMRI volunteer since 2021)
“Because in a round-about way what volunteers do helps many people. We may all benefit from the research done at BPMRI. Also it’s a happy place to work – we always feel appreciated. Everyone gets on together” (Barb, BPMRI volunteer 9 yrs)
“Great environment to work with wonderful staff – kind and friendly. Weekly gossips catch-up with other volunteers. There’s always yummy morning teas, and great Christmas lunches! I miss working – so I’m happy to help where I can and I look forward to getting up and going to BPMRI” (Sue B, Volunteer since 2018)
“I became interested when I went through the study 9 years ago. I love reviewing questionnaires and it’s a nice escape from home duties and husband for a little while (ha!)! The staff are all pleasant and other vollies have become good friends” (Jenny, volunteer 9.5 years)
