Role Description

Our older men need friendship more than ever. The isolation and loss that older men can experience in older age, can be eased by reaching out and making a new friend. It can take as little as one visit a fortnight to make a difference to men who have lived rich and generous lives. We are looking for men with a sense of purpose who want to give back to those who made Newcastle and the Hunter what it is today.
