Share Creativity, Conversation & Calm

Enjoy meaningful one-on-one visits with an elderly woman living in residential aged care at Wahroonga. Creative and reflective by nature, she enjoys non-fiction writing, reading, sketching, meditation, and listening to calming music.

Through one-on-one visits, you can share meaningful conversations, explore creative interests, and support moments of relaxation and self-expression. Whether it's discussing books, sketching together, or simply enjoying a peaceful chat, your companionship can make a genuine difference.

Help bring creativity, mindfulness, and connection to her week through regular visits filled with warmth and companionship.

-Weekly or fortnightly visits

-1 hour Visits - Weekdays between 2-4:45pm

Your impact

Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated.
