If you’re interested in connecting socially isolated people to the broader community, we would love to hear from you! Support Lisa to meet her goals of staying independent and connected to her community. Lisa would love to improve her fitness but lacks the confidence to join a group by herself! She would also like to develop some new friendships and learn how to sew but doesn't know where to begin!

This volunteer opportunity would involve connecting Lisa with places such as her local library and Neighbourhood House and you would be provided with the resources and support to do this.

As a Social Support volunteer you will: support people to build sustainable connections in their community; teach a new skill to someone wanting to learn; research and identify local social activities.

Benefits: gaining a greater sense of community and belonging; the satisfaction of helping your community, sharing your skills, and making a positive difference to a person; expanding your friendships and professional networks with likeminded volunteers.
