Friendship is the best kind of care. Be the reason someone smiles this week. We’re looking for a kind and caring volunteer to spend time with a wonderful older lady in Valentine who would love the warmth and friendship of regular visits. She enjoys doing quizzes, word puzzles, and having a good chat over a cuppa — and would love someone to share these moments with on a weekly or fortnightly basis. Our lovely client is a retired nurse who spent her life caring for others, and now she’d appreciate a caring companion to share stories, laughter, and friendship with. Your visits will bring warmth, connection, and a sense of belonging to her week — and you might find that it brightens your own days, too. Location: Valentine Time commitment: 1 hour per week (flexible) Impact: Deep, personal, and lasting 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! Your impact Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated.
