The Senior Peer Counselling Friendly Visitors Program is looking for volunteers to make a difference in a lonely senior鈥檚 life.
The number of seniors needing help is getting higher by the month. These seniors often live with no assistance, family or friends, which can lead to depression, poor health and sometimes physical difficulties. A number of clients struggle with early dementia and their friends have dropped away.
The Program is looking for kind, caring and compassionate people older than 50 who enjoy talking and listening to other people鈥檚 stories. If you are willing to spend one hour a week visiting, playing cards or other games, reading, walking or just being a friend, then you are needed.
You are provided with training and support. Men are especially needed.
Call 250-890-0099.
