Our Client
Are you someone who enjoys a good chat, a game of cards, or getting creative with art? A male in his mid-80s, living in a Warrnambool residential care facility, is looking for a male volunteer to visit weekly. He especially enjoys colouring and drawing and would love to share these activities with someone who appreciates them too. A coffee, a few laughs, and a game of cards could make a big difference in his week. Your companionship could brighten his day and help reduce feelings of loneliness.
