✨ Spark Joy! Visit an Aged Care Resident I Werribee VIC | ACVVS

Join Our Coffee & Chat Program: Make a Difference in the Lives of Elderly Residents

Brighten someone’s day and make a meaningful difference to their wellbeing through our Coffee & Chat Program. These friendly one-on-one visits help residents feel connected, valued and supported.

We’re looking for warm, compassionate volunteers to spend time with our wonderful residents, sharing conversation, stories and companionship. 🤝👴🍵📖🎶

If you’re a St Vincent’s kind of person who cares deeply about others and has a little time to share, we’d love to hear from you. Your visit could brighten someone’s entire week.

What You’ll Do:

• Enjoy a chat over a cup of coffee
• Listen to and share life stories
• Go for a stroll in the garden
• Read books, play cards, or work on puzzles
• Listen to their favourite music
• Simply enjoy each other’s company

Why Volunteer?

• Create meaningful moments for seniors
• Flexible visits to suit your schedule

Many aged care residents experience loneliness and social isolation. Over 40% of people in aged care don’t have regular visitors. By volunteering just one hour a fortnight, you can make a real difference. You’ll be matched one-on-one with a resident who would value your friendship and companionship. Your visit could brighten their day and help them feel more connected.

Program Details:

• Dedication: Our special volunteers are people who would like to visit their new friend at least 20 times or more over a twelve-month period (about one visit every two to three weeks or more).
• Requirements: Must be over 18 years old, pass a NDIS check (we will assist you with this process and cover all associated costs) and ideally be available to visit consistently and ongoing.

Ideal Volunteers:

• Exhibit care and compassion for the elderly
• Have good communication skills
• Are committed and punctual

What You’ll Gain:

• The chance to form long-lasting, meaningful friendships
• Be part of a friendly team with a strong community spirit
• Experience the joy of enriching the lives of others
