Volunteer Opportunity: Share a Love of Sports and Conversation with Graham!
Are you looking for a meaningful way to give back to your community? Ageing with Grace believes that social connections are essential to the well-being of older people. We are seeking enthusiastic, compassionate, friendly Volunteer Visitors to spend time with older people who are at risk of social isolation and loneliness.
We are currently searching for a friendly, reliable male volunteer with an Aboriginal background to spend some quality one-on-one time with Graham.
About Graham:
Due to health challenges, Graham is currently bedridden and confined to his room. This has made his world feel very small, and he is deeply missing the simple joy of regular company and a good conversation. Graham would love a friendly male companion with an Aboriginal background to visit him in his room, have a good 1:1 chat, and share his passion for watching sports.
The Role:
- What: 1:1 room-bound companionship and social connection.
- Activities: Enjoying friendly conversations and watching sports.
- Time Commitment: Flexible hours to suit your schedule (weekly or fortnightly visits).
About You:
- You are a male volunteer of Aboriginal background (to help Graham feel comfortable and culturally connected).
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You possess a kind, patient heart, compassion, and reliability.
- You love sports and enjoy a casual, relaxed conversation.
About the Program:
This position is supported by the Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme (ACVVS). The ACVVS is a government-funded program designed to combat social isolation and help develop social connections.
By giving just an hour or two of your time each week or fortnight, you can completely change Graham's day, break his isolation, and build a deeply rewarding connection.
