Description
Volunteer Companion Visitor - Help brighten a neighbour's day by visiting them in their own home. Go for walks, play cards or anything else that is of interest to client and volunteer. Clients and volunteers are matched based on common interests or hobbies, perhaps similar backgrounds or something more specific such as a mutual enjoyment of walking or the pleasure in a good cup of tea. A visit or outing once a week is encouraged, the day and time of the visit as well as the activity shared, is decided upon by both client and volunteer.
