Would you like to share stories & sunshine - Elliminyt 3250
Advertised by Volunteering Geelong
Bring your kindness, your smile, and maybe your favourite café order.
The Role: As a volunteer visitor, you’ll be matched with an older woman who would benefit from friendly, social visits in her home. Each visit is relaxed and guided by shared interests—whether it’s chatting about life, spending time in the garden, doing a puzzle together, or enjoying a gentle outing to a nearby café. This is a wonderful opportunity to build a meaningful connection and brighten someone’s day while enriching your own.
Our Client: Our client is a warm and independent woman in her 80s who has spent most of her life in Cressy, where she worked for 15 years in her parents’ general store and still loves sharing stories from those days. She enjoys spending time in her garden, reading, and doing puzzles, and she attends bowls every Friday. She would love a friendly female volunteer to visit fortnightly for companionship—whether that’s chatting at home, enjoying the garden together, or taking a short drive to a nearby café.
