Compeer Friendship Volunteer - greater Hornsby area

Vinnies Connect

Many people with long-term mental illness become disconnected from friends and family around them, leaving them socially isolated.

You can help address this isolation by becoming a Compeer volunteer. Compeer volunteers are matched in a one-to-one friendship with someone who is isolated and living in their local community.

You will spend an hour a week with your friend, enjoying outings together, such as having coffee, grabbing a bite to eat, or going to the footy.

We provide training and ongoing support for volunteers, and the opportunity to catch up with other members of the Compeer community for social events.

Your friendship can make a big difference to your new friend’s quality of life, and help reduce the stigma associated with mental illness.

We accept volunteer applications from people aged 18 or older; however as we match people based on gender and age, we are currently seeking male and female volunteers aged 30 and over.

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