Share a Walk, a Smile and a Little Greek Conversation

A friendly gentleman living in a residential aged care home in Hurstville would enjoy spending time with a Greek-speaking volunteer who can share conversation, companionship and connection.

Having grown up in Greece and migrated to Australia in his 20s, he has lived a rich and engaging life. While dementia has made it harder for him to communicate in English, he remains warm, good-natured and enjoys the comfort of hearing his first language spoken.

Your visits might include:

- Enjoying a stroll around the neighbourhood

- Playing simple games together

- Sharing stories and conversation in Greek

- Offering friendship and companionship

This role would suit a patient, confident and compassionate volunteer who understands that meaningful connection comes in many forms, especially for someone living with dementia.

A friendly face, a shared language and time spent together can help bring comfort, joy and a sense of belonging each week.

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.
