We are seeking a kind, patient, and friendly Italian-speaking volunteer to spend time with an older person living in a residential care facility in Merrylands.

The role involves providing companionship through meaningful conversations in Italian, listening to Italian music together, watching Italian cooking shows, and sharing cultural memories and experiences. This is a wonderful prospect for someone who enjoys connecting with older people and helping them maintain a sense of familiarity, language, and connection to their Italian heritage.

The ideal volunteer will be warm, reliable, and comfortable having relaxed conversations in Italian. No formal experience is required — just a willingness to spend time, listen, and bring joy through companionship.

If you enjoy Italian culture and would like to make a positive difference in someone’s day, we would love to hear from you.

If you have an hour a week or even a fortnight to spare and would love to make a positive difference in someone's life, we would love to hear from you.
