Urgent! Help a lonely lady living in Aged Care by being a friend - Coorparoo

Wynnum Baptist Community Visitors Scheme t/as ACVVS Wynnum

As a Community Visitor you will visit with our lady who is of Greek cultural background at the Aged Care home in Coorparoo. Regular fortnightly visits provide the resident with valuable friendship. You do not need to speak Greek for this role, however an understanding of the culture would be beneficial, but not essential.

Our lady would really benefit from having one on one conversation from a gentle and encouraging female volunteer. Some of her interests include Theatre, Art, Philosophy, Religion and History. Visits may include chatting, listening to music, reading together or perhaps a walk in the garden.

Through this regular one-to-one visiting great friendships can be formed. These visits from a Community Visitor can help to improve the quality of life of the older person and help them to feel less socially isolated.

Volunteering as a Community Visitor can be a very rewarding experience. By becoming a friend to an older person, you can make a positive difference to their lives as well as your own.

You can not apply for this role as it is no longer available.
