Are you someone who enjoys a warm chat and loves furry four-legged pets?
Were looking for a kind hearted volunteer to visit a thoughtful elderly lady and her very cute dog. Shes been feeling a little lonely and would truly appreciate a friendly face.
Your presence can bring comfort, connection, and joy. A relaxed visit, a shared story, and patting the dog together has the power to brighten her day and lift her spirits in a way that really matters.
***Your impact***
Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated.
HammondCare is a provider of The Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme funded by the Australian Government and is established to promote links between elderly people and volunteers in their local community.
