Make a genuine difference - become a Leisure Buddy!

Colin* is a friendly man in his early 60s living with Downs Syndrome. He's got a great sense of humour and enjoys connecting with others, chatting and joking. He likes music, movies, anything cowboy-related and the footy. He's a big Collingwood fan! He often has a big smile and loves giving people fist bumps.

Colin wants a friend to connect with and do fun things together like going for lunch, to the shops, bowling or exploring the city.

We're looking for a friendly, patient and empathic volunteer. No previous experience required! Location based around Caulfield area.

This volunteer role is flexible, with full training and ongoing support provided. We ask for a commitment of at least 6 months, for around 1–2 hours every fortnight.
