Australian Red Cross is needing visiting volunteers in your local area.

The ACVVS Aged Care Volunteer Visitor Scheme has come to Lismore and the surrounding areas.

This allows volunteers to go into the home of the elderly who are facing isolation and lacking connection.

Volunteers visit once a week or once a fortnight for an hour to have a cuppa, go for a walk or take on a new hobby together.

If you are wanting to make a friendship, give back to the community and make someone's week this is the opportunity for you!
