Our Age Concern Visiting Service is a befriending service that provides regular visits to older people who would like more company; to reduce social isolation and loneliness. Our visitors are volunteers who are keen to spend time with an older person for about an hour each week to enjoy conversation and shared interests and activities. We have men and women from a wide variety of backgrounds and ages. What they have in common is warmth, friendliness and a desire to make a difference in the life of an older person
Regular visits can make a real difference to an older person’s health and happiness, and our volunteers tell us that they really enjoy and benefit from their role. We have over ?? volunteers currently on our ‘books’, throughout ??. If you would like a visitor please contact us.
If you would like to spend time with an older person and have an hour or so a week to spare, we want to hear from you. Similarly, if you know of someone who might benefit from a visitor, get in touch with us and we’ll find the right visitor for them. Call us at 07 838 2266 or email AVS@ageconcernwaikato.org.nz
