We are looking for a mature male volunteer to become a Volunteer Visitor and provide friendship to a lonely gentleman living in an Aged Care home in the Wynnum West area. Visits will include sitting and chatting together about the old days.

In his earlier days, our resident used to love to do wood working, go fishing, spray painted cars, as well as worked for the Ambulance service.

Regular fortnightly visits provide the resident with valuable friendship. Through this regular one-to-one visiting great friendships can be formed. These visits from a Volunteer Visitor can help to improve the quality of life of the older person and help them to feel less socially isolated.

Volunteering as a Volunteer 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.
