Meet A Volunteer

Meet Nigel

Nigel Tinson has volunteered at the Cockburn Seniors Centre for eight years and has been on the City of Cockburn's Age-friendly reference group for three years. At this year's City of Cockburn Senior Centre Volunteer Lunch, he was named Senior Centre Volunteer of the Year for 2022.
Nigel generously gives his time and makes a difference by: Facilitating the iPad/smart devices social group Helping Seniors within the community stay connected through the use of technology Supporting the front desk volunteers and staff by filling in when volunteers can't make a shift or are on leave Coordinating the member's footy tipping completion Advocating for Seniors through the Age-friendly reference group Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, he gave many hours assisting Seniors with technology. His support was vital, especially when the government required proof of vaccination and check-in apps to be loaded on phones.
The lasting positive outcomes from Nigel helping the seniors are unmeasurable, and he is such a valued volunteer at the Cockburn Seniors Centre
Want to be like Nigel, volunteer with the City of Cockburn today!
