The Community Visitor Scheme (CVS) aims to reduce loneliness for the elderly and offer more social support and connectivity to the wider community.

Sharing stories and being a good listener is all that is required. Spending 1 - 2 hours per week or fortnight with an elderly person can really make a difference in their lives.

Volunteers can participate in the scheme in 3 different ways:

• visit a person in an aged care facility
• visit a person in their own home
• visit two or more people in a group setting at an aged care facility

Your time is incredibly powerful and sharing it is one simple way you can make a difference to someone’s life.
