Accredited Visiting Service Hawkes Bay
AGE CONCERN NAPIER is looking to recruit volunteer visitors for their Accredited Home Visiting Service (AVS) throughout the Hawkes Bay region. This is a befriending service for people over the age of 65, and is aimed at reducing social isolation and loneliness amongst older people. Having a visitor can make a real difference to the health and happiness of an older person. Our visitors provide regular visits of about an hour per week, share interests and activities with clients, and bring a little sunshine into their lives.
If you would like to become part of our wonderful team of volunteers please contact us for further details. We would love to hear from you.

This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.
Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
