Friendship of an older person
The Sallies are looking for people to visit an older person who may be lonely and socially isolated, either weekly or fortnightly for approximately one hour.
The older person may like you to take them on an outing occasionally, or perhaps a walk but most of them are happy to sit and have a cup of tea and a chat. Both the older person and the visitor enjoy the friendship that develops from this regular contact. If you like to chat with interesting folk and also have the patience to listen, this is the role for you!
You will need to be over 18 years of age and see this as a longer term commitment.

Good Warm Home Loan ANZBank
Just advising that anyone who is renovating should apply first this loan - even if they don’t need it. With the escalating costs AND hidden problems that you may come across you can go well over your budget and find this 1% interest loan useful. It is for 3 years and specifically targets items like double glazing
You don’t see this Ioan on the front page of there website and have to read carefully terms ad conditions.
If anyone has had success in getting their loan halfway through their renovation I would love to hear from you
