Volunteers are sought for the Welcome Inn Community Centre’s Community Visitation program. Volunteers are matched up with seniors in the Hamilton area to talk by phone on a regular basis. The goal is to offer friendship and support in an effort to ease isolation and ensure seniors are able to live independently for as long as possible.

Home Hospice Association

Wed, 01 Jun 2022 15:40:17 GMT

As many of you are probably aware, there is a crisis in palliative and hospice care in Ontario. Home Hospice Association (HHA) is a not-for-profit, federally registered charity that delivers free palliative and hospice care to anyone, at any time, under any roof, at any age.

We are asking you to become part of our volunteer force.

The fact that boomers and seniors currently account for 45% of Ontario’s population means that we have an incredible resource from which to draw volunteers. We believe that volunteers of all ages are incredibly valuable. However, we know that boomers and seniors bring with them specific qualities, highlighted by:

Skill expertise developed over a lifetime
Appreciation and understanding of team work
Flexible schedule

The benefits to you include, but are not limited to:

enhanced emotional and physical wellbeing
strengthened mental capacity
learning and skill development through new experiences

Our clients are facing life-limiting illnesses. After online training, HHA volunteers confidently help in a variety of ways, from operational work such as event planning, to committee work, and hands-on caregiving in the home. The possibilities are as limitless as the skills our volunteers bring with them.

For more information about HHA and how you can help, please go to our website https://www.homehospiceassociation.com/get-involved. There, you can read about our various programs and submit a volunteer application form.
