This program has been set up on the North Shore to connect local Jewish volunteers with older members of our community who are living at home and may be socially isolated.The volunteers provide social support to clients usually by way of regular one-on–one activities which may include.
- Home visiting
- Transport to appointments
- Shopping
- Help with correspondence
- Reading
- Playing games eg chess or scrabble
- Going to a movie
The program is operated from JewishCare’s North Shore office and as with all JewishCare programs police checks and other relevant checks are carried out on all volunteers.
