Fetch some smiles—and share a lunch date too! Spend a warm and cheerful hour with a lovely elderly lady who enjoys getting out for lunch and sharing good company—and who absolutely lights up at the sight of a friendly dog. Your furry companion will be the star of the visit, bringing comfort, joy, and plenty of smiles. Alongside your pup, you might head out for a relaxed lunch, enjoy a chat, and share those simple, happy moments that a wagging tail can create. These visits are all about companionship—with a special touch of pet therapy magic. If you and your dog enjoy gentle outings, friendly connections, and brightening someone’s day, this could become a truly heartwarming part of your week. 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxFDDi9bS6c HammondCare HammondCare is an independent Christian charity and we're passionate about improving the quality of life for people in need.
