Your time spent with the participant could include having a chat over coffee, reminiscing, listening to music, reading the newspaper, playing a game of cards or other interest they would like to engage in.
You may also accompanying them to cafes, lookouts, galleries, libraries, the cinema and more. You will preferably have a current driver's licence and comprehensive vehicle insurance.The impact
As a Community Visitor Volunteer, you'll brighten the life of an elderly person by offering them company and friendship.
