About this role

Share a Cuppa, a Chat and Some Company

A friendly conversation and shared interests can make all the difference. This volunteer opportunity involves spending time with a lovely client who enjoys the simple pleasures of good company, whether that's chatting over a cuppa or heading out for a relaxing drive.

The client has a creative spirit and enjoys gardening, animals and a variety of craft activities, including knitting, crochet, embroidery, sewing and card-making. Music is an important part of their life, particularly jazz and classical, and they also enjoy watching British television programs on ABC and SBS.

This is a wonderful opportunity to build a genuine connection through regular visits, meaningful conversations and shared interests, while helping to reduce social isolation and brighten someone's day.


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.
