Gosford Shire, Australia Volunteering Redcross Full time

The program


Red Cross supports elderly members of the community to be more independent, to improve their wellbeing and social connection, and to remain living in their local community.

We do this by matching volunteers with an older person who lives in aged care or at home and experiences social isolation.


The opportunity


A Social Inclusion program volunteer works with the Social Inclusion team to increase the connection of socially isolated elderly people within their community.

Activities may include a social visit to an isolated person in their own home and/or assistance with access to the local community and engagement with their interests.


The impact


As a Home Social Support volunteer you'll brighten the life of someone experiencing social isolation by offering them company and friendship.
