Job Description

Could you spare an hour each week to brighten someone's day?

An elderly lady living in an aged care community in Rathmines is seeking a friendly volunteer to enjoy a cuppa and a chat with. She has a love of gardens, music, and valuable conversation and would value the companionship of someone who enjoys sharing stories and building a genuine connection.

No special skills are required—just a warm, caring nature and a willingness to spend time together.

Make a real difference through the gift of friendship.
