Community Care Durham’s (CCD) Friendly Visiting service provides support to adults aged 16 and older, who have needs related to aging, physical and/or mental health.

How can I help?

Volunteers provide face to face visits to clients on a weekly basis to share in conversation and common interests. Make a new friend and share in-person conversation, companionship and experiences.

During a Friendly Visit, clients and volunteers may engage in a variety of activities including: a friendly chat, shared hobby, exercise or learning a new skill, all while making a lasting friendship.

What is expected of me?

Flexible schedule based on your availability (weekday or weekend, daytime or evening). Visits are typically 1-2 hours per week. Three-month commitment preferred.

• Visit your client on a weekly basis
• Visit can occur in the clients’ home, outside or include an outing
• If you are transporting a client in your vehicle, you must have a driver’s abstract on file

Volunteers are not to provide personal care to clients including, but not limited to, lifting, transferring, toileting, and dispensing medications.
