Companion Shopping - Assist an elderly Client with their Shopping!
Lower North Shore Community Volunteers
- Chatswood New South Wales
- Category: Community Services
- Types of work: Seniors & Aged Care
Companion Shopping is an invaluable service which matches volunteers with elderly clients who need assistance with transport to the shops and help with their shopping. Volunteers spend two hours a fortnight with their client, and often build a friendly relationship with each other. This service is vital in assisting people to remain living independently at home for as long as possible as it provides an opportunity to go shopping, and also enjoy much needed social interaction.
