Pete describes himself as a bit of a loner, he recently moved to Cheltenham from regional Victoria and is feeling a bit lost. He enjoys swimming, fishing and going out for coffee or a pub lunch. He would like a volunteer to visit him, and ultimately go fishing together, a coffee and a chat at a cafe or going out to lunch at the local pub.
If you have an interest in supporting people 65+ to reconnect with their interests and community please apply!
We offer opportunities in skill and knowledge development, as well as ongoing support and mentoring. Good communications skills and the ability to work independently are a must.
