A Familiar Voice, A Meaningful Connection...

Make a meaningful difference in the life of an older person living in our dementia-specific cottages.

We are seeking a Lebanese-speaking volunteer to visit an older resident and provide companionship, conversation, cultural connection, and social engagement. For people living with dementia, hearing a familiar language and sharing cultural experiences can bring comfort, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

Whether it's chatting about family, sharing memories, discussing Lebanese traditions, or simply spending time together, your visits can help create meaningful moments of connection and joy.

What's involved?

• One-hour visits
• Visits between 1:00pm and 3:00pm
• Monday to Friday
• A minimum 6-month commitment
• Regular visits on the same day and time to help build trust, familiarity, and connection

No special skills or experience are required. We're looking for someone who is kind, patient, reliable, and able to communicate in Lebanese Arabic.

Please note: This role is focused on providing companionship and building a meaningful connection and is not suitable for work experience or student placements.

Your impact

Volunteering can be a rewarding experience, both for the people you interact with as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated.
