Plant Seeds of Friendship with Aged Care Residents 


Spend meaningful time connecting with aged care residents through a shared love of gardening. Whether chatting one-on-one with a resident among the garden beds or supporting a small group activity, you'll help create opportunities for conversation, enjoyment, and connection.


Activities may include planting herbs and flowers, watering, potting seedlings, harvesting produce, or simply sharing stories in the sunshine. No gardening expertise is required, just a friendly nature, patience, and a willingness to build relationships and brighten someone's day.

Please note: Volunteer interviews and Orientation must take place on a weekday during business hours.



Your impact

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



HammondCare

HammondCare is an independent Christian charity and we're passionate about improving the quality of life for people in need. We have a wonderful group of volunteers that partner with us to enhance the lives of the clients cared for by HammondCare.

HammondCare is a provider of The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme funded by the Australian Government and is established to promote links between elderly people and volunteers in their local community.
