🧶☕ Share Conversation, Cooking Stories and a New Friendship - Community Role

🧶☕ Share Conversation, Cooking Stories and a New Friendship

We're looking for a friendly volunteer to visit a lovely older lady living independently in her own home in Eastgardens. While she enjoys staying active in her local community, she would love a regular visitor to share some companionship, conversation, and friendship.

She has a passion for cooking and crochet and enjoys chatting about everyday life, exchanging stories, and getting to know new people. Whether you're discussing favourite recipes, admiring a crochet project, or simply enjoying a cuppa together, your visits could become a highlight of her week.

As a volunteer, you might:

• Enjoy friendly conversation over a cup of tea or coffee
• Chat about cooking, family traditions, and favourite recipes
• Share an interest in crochet or other hobbies
• Reminisce and exchange stories about life experiences
• Provide regular companionship and social connection

What's involved?

• A minimum 6-month commitment
• Weekly or fortnightly visits
• Visits on the same day and time to help build a meaningful and lasting friendship
• Visits can take place Monday to Sunday, for one hour, anytime between 9:00am and 5:00pm
• Visits take place in her home in Eastgardens

No special skills or experience are required. We're looking for someone who is kind, reliable, patient, and enjoys connecting with others.

Please note: This role is focused on building a quality, consistent friendship and is not suitable for work experience, student placements or placement requirements.
