Uniting AgeWell recognises that most people want to continue living independently at home. We also understand that personal connections are an important part of life. Our Social Connections Program supports people aged over 65 to get back to the things they love and reconnect with their community through Volunteer Engagement.

Our Social Connection Program is led by Volunteers, who provide meaningful support through a range of activities including:

• Local group outings
• Special interest groups
• One on one visits
• Phone-based connections
• Centre-based activities
• Community Transport (Grampians)

Whether it’s enjoying a conversation over a cup of coffee at someone’s home, learning a new hobby together or getting out and about in the community to do something fun, we have an opportunity for everyone. Our volunteers have such a positive impact on the people they connect with and their local communities.

Uniting AgeWell provides volunteers with training and induction, supervision and ongoing opportunities for learning and development.
