What Does it Mean to be a Volunteer?

Volunteers visit nursing home residents and clients in their own homes after being matched by a coordinator. We work closely to support our volunteers so that visitors and clients can help build a strong friendship.

A visit consists of a one hour every fortnight, engaging in a range of activities, such as playing cards, taking short walks, knitting or crocheting, reading, listening to music, or having a coffee and a chat. These visits bring valuable social connection and joy to those involved.

We work closely with our volunteers to ensure that both visitors and clients have the opportunity to build meaningful and lasting friendships.

“Guglielmo’s visits put me in a great mood
– he is not my volunteer, he’s my friend.”
