Do you enjoy a cuppa and a chat? Volunteers Urgently Needed

Lisa Wall from Age Concern Counties Manukau Inc

Volunteers are urgently needed to visit older people for up to an hour, once a week. If you can make a good cuppa and enjoy having a chat with someone, then we need you. This is one of the simplest and most rewarding ways to make a difference in your community. What's in it for me you ask?

Well ........
• You’ll gain a sense of purpose and more confidence
• You’ll become part of an important community making a difference
• You’ll meet other volunteers
• You’ll learn new skills and receive training
• Most of all, you’ll connect with someone who needs you
