LinkAGE Volunteer Program

The LinkAGE program recruits and trains volunteers to become companions to elderly residents of nursing homes, hostels and retirement villages throughout the Sydney metropolitan area. Potential volunteers are interviewed by telephone and invited to attend a 15-hour training course. Following the training and screening (evaluation by the trainer, referee and criminal record checks, and signature of a prohibited persons declaration), volunteers are assigned to an aged care facility participating in the program. Currently there are 45 aged care facilities in the program and around 90 volunteers. The volunteers offer companionship on an individual basis, generally spending one hour a week with the resident, in activities such as conversation, reading, letter writing etc. Phone 9923 7299 for more information.

Powelltown

Hello ,
I'm in a really bad situation atm . I recently had to move because my dad who I was caring for 10 years had to go into aged care .
I had nowhere to go with my dog and luckily someone I barely know let me rent a room off him in Powelltown, Vic .
I don't drive and it's an 18km walk just to get to a bus stop that is still Ages away from most things .
My centerlink has been cut off because I couldnt attend a job provider appointment due to it being so far and I haven't had any food for 5 days now.
There is a local food relief place that gives Me a few fresh vegetables every Friday but they didn't come today and it's only a few fruit and veg which is not very nourishing on an empty stomach . They only come on Fridays when they can .
Can you guys please
