Be a Mate for Barry – Share a Chat, a Crossword and a Coffee

Wesley Mission

Logo for Wesley Mission

Wesley Volunteer Visitors connects volunteers with older Australians who are feeling isolated or lonely. Right now, Barry would love a male visitor who enjoys conversation and light outings. He’s a sociable man who likes crosswords, reading the paper, and getting out for a coffee.

Volunteering is simple but powerful—just one hour every fortnight can bring joy and companionship to someone who truly values it. Our volunteers often say they get as much out of the experience as they give, building genuine friendships along the way.

We’ll introduce you to Barry, provide training and ongoing support, and even host volunteer celebration events to thank you for making a difference.

Wesley Mission

Each year, more than 180,000 people find support, care and compassion at Wesley Mission and without volunteers like you this crucial work wouldn’t be possible.

What is involved?

  • Fortnightly visits, at a convenient time.
  • Providing companionship and enjoying each other’s company.
