Friendship of an older person

Volunteering Bay of Plenty

The Sallies are looking for people to visit an older person who may be lonely and socially isolated, either weekly or fortnightly for approximately one hour.
The older person may like you to take them on an outing occasionally, or perhaps a walk but most of them are happy to sit and have a cup of tea and a chat. Both the older person and the visitor enjoy the friendship that develops from this regular contact. If you like to chat with interesting folk and also have the patience to listen, this is the role for you!
You will need to be over 18 years of age and see this as a longer term commitment.

A PRICELESS GIFT

Donna from Gate Pa

Hello everyone

The restriction on giving blood in response to the outbreak of ‘Mad Cow’ Disease in the UK (restricting anybody who lived in the UK between 1980 and 1996 from giving blood) was lifted 29 February 2024.

So, for the first time in over 30 years I donated blood last Tuesday. I am again able to give a priceless gift that may very well save a life – and all for just 1 hour of my time.

So, for whatever reason you haven’t given and would like to, I encourage you to find out more about how you can donate.

There is a lot of info on the NZ Blood Website.
