Accredited Visiting Service

As we age we may experience loneliness and isolation.   The AVS service provides companionship and support for older people in our community.

Client

If you are an older person and feel you would like some company, we have this wonderful service that matches with you a volunteer visitor who will spend some time with you each week.   This could brighten up your life, allow friendship to blossom, bring a sense of fulfilment to both you and your visitor.

Visitor

Your time and friendship is often the greatest gift you can give to another.   There are older people in our community who spend most of each day alone.   You can help reduce their isolation by becoming a volunteer visitor.

Your commitment?  1 hour per week

As a volunteer, you will:

J  establish a new friendship

J  enhance the wellbeing and quality of life of an
     older person

J  complement existing services being received

J  gain valuable insight into community services

J  receive training and ongoing support

 

If you would like to be involved with this service, don't wait - give us a call.
