"Being alone all the time can be tough, but having a volunteer come visit me has made a world of difference. Itu0027s so nice to have someone to talk to and share stories with. They always bring a smile to my face and make me feel less lonely.”Many seniors in our community are living in social isolation, which can lead to loneliness and depression. By volunteering your time and visiting with them, you will brighten their day and provide much needed companionship.Affectionately referred to as our ‘friendship program’ we match volunteers with seniors who share similar interests, so you can connect over a shared love of books, movies or hobbies. Youu0027ll have the opportunity to hear fascinating stories and gain insight from people who have a wealth of life experience.What we offer you:
- Training and regular check-ins.
- Flexibility to volunteer on a day and at a time that suits you.
- A minimum of one hour per fortnight commitment.
- A desire to spend time with seniors in your community.
- A warm and friendly communication style and reliable.
- A willingness to have a Criminal History Check (paid for by us).
