Share your language (English), background (Sri Lankan) and companionship during weekly friendly visits with an isolated Sri Lankan elderly man living in his own home in Brighton East.

A mature male volunteer fluent in English from a Sri Lankan background is requested for this role. Weekday afternoon visits, any day of the week although Tuesdays preferred.

Visits may be spent talking or sharing in a simple leisure activity together. Your regular visits can make a real and positive difference in the life of this resident - reducing social isolation and improving well-being.

We ask volunteers to commit to fortnightly visits for at least 12 months, however this is an ongoing role & we hope to support your friendship for as long as possible.

Volunteers receive training, orientation, ongoing support, travel reimbursement and quarterly invitations to meetings together with other visiting volunteers.
