Share your language (Arabic) and companionship during fortnightly friendly visits to an isolated elderly Lebanese man living in an aged care facility in Springvale.

A volunteer fluent in Arabic is requested for this role. A mature, patient and caring visitor is required.

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.

To find out more please phone our Coordinator on 9728 7406 or 'express interest' below. Please only apply for this role if you can make at least a 6 month commitment.
