Ageing With Grace NT

Ageing with Grace believes that social connections are essential to the happiness of older people. They run the Aged Care Volunteer Visitor scheme to help to combat loneliness for older people. If you are an enthusiastic, compassionate, friendly person with some spare time, volunteer as a visitor. You'll spend time with older people who are at risk of social isolation. You need to be patient and reliable, and you’ll visit your older friend each week or fortnight. You can enjoy a chat and a cuppa together, read, play games, or take a short walk. Volunteering 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. Your visits will bring great joy to the client you are matched with. Contact the organisation to find out what volunteer roles are on offer in the NT as they change regularly.
