Got a bit of spare time and happy to share a chat? This community volunteering role is all about mateship, company, and being thereâhelping an older gent feel connected, heard, and part of the community.
Heâs easyâgoing, down to earth, and enjoys the simple things in life. He values good company and a relaxed visit where thereâs no pressureâjust 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 laidâback chat, donât 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 differenceâwithout needing any special skills.
