Share Your Time, Share Your Spark Love the bohemia of the inner city? Enjoy art, creativity, and good conversation? You could brighten someone’s week in just one hour. We’re seeking a Volunteer Social Visitor To spend time with a lovely older woman living in Darlinghurst. She’s a lifelong artist – painter, ceramicist, sculptor, and teacher – who has lived and raised her family in the heart of Sydney’s creative scene. These days, she’s less mobile and misses the chats, cafes, and creative energy she once enjoyed. She would love visits from someone who shares her love for the arts and life and values meaningful conversation. You might just chat or even paint together. You might be: - An art student, artist, or creative soul - Someone who enjoys companionship and giving back - Young or young at heart, with an hour a week to spare One hour a week can make a real difference. If this sounds like you – or someone you know – we’d love to hear from you!
