Give one hour a week to brighten someone’s day
The ACVVS Visiting Program connects compassionate volunteers with older people who are feeling socially isolated. By giving just one hour a week, you can make a powerful difference in someone’s life.
As a volunteer visitor, you’ll spend time with an elderly person in their home or aged care facility, sharing conversation, laughter, and simple moments of companionship. There’s no special skill required—just a kind heart and a willingness to listen. A cup of tea, a walk, a chat about memories or everyday life can mean the world.
For many older people, these visits are the highlight of their week. Regular connection helps reduce loneliness, builds a sense of belonging, and improves emotional wellbeing. Feeling seen, heard, and valued can restore confidence and joy, and remind people they are not forgotten. Volunteers often say they gain just as much in return. Please do not hesitate to contact for further information.
