Got a bit of spare time and happy to share a chat? This community volunteering role is all about mateship, company, and being there—helping an older gent feel connected, heard, and part of the community.

He’s easy‑going, down to earth, and enjoys the straightforward things in life. He values good company and a relaxed visit where there’s no pressure—just time spent together and a friendly face.

What he enjoys:

- Fishing and talking all things outdoors

- Gardening and pottering around the house

- Spending time on the computer

- Kicking back with Netflix

- Being around animals

If you enjoy a laid‑back chat, don’t mind getting your hands a little dirty in the garden, or just want to be a steady presence for someone, this role is a great way to make a real difference—without needing any special skills.

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 older people feel less isolated. Your visits will bring great joy to the client you are matched with.
