We are looking for a person who speaks Mandarin to become a Volunteer Visitor and provide regular visits for friendship to a lonely gentleman living in aged care in the Mt Gravatt area.

Visits may include enjoying a chat in his native language of Mandarin. Taking a short walk in the garden or perhaps do a simple activity together (eg. reading, play a board game/ card game, a simple jigsaw puzzle).

Regular fortnightly visits provide the resident with valuable friendship. Through this regular one-to-one visiting great friendships can be formed. These visits from a Volunteer Visitor can help to improve the quality of life of the older person and help them to feel less socially isolated.

Volunteering as a Volunteer Visitor can be a very rewarding experience. By becoming a friend to an older person, you can make a positive difference to their lives as well as your own.
