Building Friendships Across Generations: The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme

Loneliness and isolation can have a profound impact on the well-being of older people, especially for those in aged care or living alone. The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme is making a difference by matching volunteers with older people, fostering friendships that provide much-needed companionship and connection. For volunteers and recipients alike, these relationships offer a meaningful way to bridge the gap between generations and cultures.

The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme is not just about reducing loneliness; it’s about building connections that transcend age, culture, and time.
Volunteers make a profound difference in the lives of older people by offering their time and friendship.

If you’re interested in becoming part of this life-changing initiative, willing to commit to at least 12 months of one hour a week, please contact:

Annie Lucas at anniel@ageingwithgrace.org.au or 0459 542 227 for more information.

A simple act of kindness could be the beginning of a friendship that lasts a lifetime.

Together, we can build a more connected community!
