About this opportunity
Enjoy the great outdoors and spend time in the sunshine as you walk alongside elderly residents from HammondCare aged care home in Miranda.
You'll be helping people to maintain their mobility as well as their healthy wellbeing and confidence as you take in the sights of the broader grounds and coffee shop. No fitness level required as this is a social outing with light paced exercise.
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.
The Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme is funded by the Australian Government and is established to promote links between elderly people and volunteers in their local community.
