About this role
Stitch a little kindness into your week!
We are looking for a friendly
social volunteer who can speak Italian and would love to brighten the day of an
older woman in our community. She used to be a seamstress and enjoys gentle
walks and spending time in the garden. Your role would involve one hour visits
each week to provide companionship, conversation and connection in her
preferred language. If you enjoy meaningful chats, light strolls, and making
someone feel valued, this is a beautiful opportunity to give back.
Help us sew the
seeds of friendship. Apply today and make a real difference!
