Our volunteer visitors are empathetic, kind and come from all walks of life; they find ways to connect and show genuine appreciation for the happiness of others. They play a vital role in the life of an older person through ongoing friendship.

A lovely older lady living in an Aged Care Home in Craigieburn would enjoy having conversations in Syriac with a new female friend.

We have seen many wonderful friendships formed through:

• Sharing stories
• Helping with a hobby, interest or activity
• Exploring the local park or shopping centre together
• Listening to music
• Playing a board game

Making a new friend can change the life of an older person experiencing loneliness and isolation. It can improve physical, mental and emotional health.
