Individual support can be provided through companionship visits to people who are socially isolated and lonely. Home visits are undertaken by volunteers on a fortnightly or monthly basis for 2 hours per visit. Home visit activities could include reading books, playing games, help with writing letters or just having a cuppa and a chat. Accompanied outings assist people to stay active in our local community and build social connections. Our volunteers are happy to wander through the local nursery, help shop for a special gift, attend local medical appointments, or simply enjoy an outing to look at the whales and have a chat.
We can coordinate a personalised shopping service to support our older community members. Our shopping service is provided by our dedicated volunteers who will collect the itemised shopping list from the client, complete the shopping and deliver the groceries back to the client. Our shopping services is provided on a fortnightly basis to support clients to remain living independently in their own home.
We can coordinate our volunteers to help support our clients by participating together in light courtyard gardening to encourage our clients to enjoy the outdoors and keep moving with one of their favourite activities such as light gardening all with a helping hand.
