The Boroondara Volunteer Resource Centre is advertising this role on behalf of mecwacare.

A tea and chat companion provides friendship and companionship to an older person on a weekly or fortnightly basis. You can also engage in mutual interests such as:

• walking
• reading
• sport
• dog companionship
• music
• arts & craft
• gardening

mecwacare is excited to be participating in the Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme (ACVVS) which supports isolated and lonely people who are receiving aged care services in an aged care home or through a home care package.

If you can spare 1 hour fortnightly and want to give back to your local community we would love to hear from you.

Please register and our Volunteer Coordinator Fiona Feenaghty will be in touch to answer any questions you may have.
