Walking Companion

We are looking for kind-hearted individuals who would like to accompany Ashwood Park residents on walks around the facility and gardens (and sometimes a stroll through Pollard Park or another scenic location).

Either walk alongside individuals or small groups of seniors.
Walks can vary in length; from just around the garden to around the block. Some residents may prefer to be pushed in a wheelchair.

A full induction will be provided for all volunteers.

Requirements:

You don't need any special skills for this role; just a friendly personality!
Volunteer walking companions should be able to walk unassisted themselves, with decent balance.
Volunteers should be aged 16 or older.

A Police background check is required for this role.

Time commitment:

Flexible timing; no need to be same time or day each week.
Choose how long and how often you volunteer for!

Getting started:
The first step is to express your interest by filling out the form below. We will then put you in touch directly with the organisation for more information on the role and how to proceed.
