That smile says it all✨ Our amazing volunteer Gretta Mohan had the chance to meet President of Ireland! Michael D Higgins previously spoke about loneliness and isolation, saying he noticed across the board that desire to be connected. #MakingConnections #ConnectingTheGenerations

💞A befriending volunteer with Making Connections can look like this - having a chat over a cup of tea, playing Scrabble or going for a spin in the car to the shop! What we love about this? The smiles on their faces, knowing they feel supported and a little less lonely 💞

On International Volunteer Day, imagine… IF EVERYONE DID, if everyone volunteered we could change the world in extraordinary ways through collective action. #IVD2023 #MakingConnections #Helloagainworld

It's International Volunteer Day! At Making Connections, all our achievements belong to our volunteers. From the voluntary board, those behind the scenes to the volunteers who directly support older people in the community in life-changing ways. THANK YOU! #IVD2023

“After illness and loss, I feared I’d never recover. The weekly visits got me through the toughest time. I got confidence back... I’m getting out to see friends again.” Eve, 87 (photo + name changed for privacy) Thanks to our Befriending Volunteers! #IVD2023 #IfEveryoneDid

“I always used to walk, but I stopped when I got older. The Walk & Talk group has made my life. Completely changed it. I’ve met so many people. I laugh more.” Ciara*, 87 THANK YOU to our Volunteer Team who make it possible #IVD2023 #IFEVERYONEDID #HelloAgainWord #WeAct

Christmas can be an especially lonely time for the elderly. A short visit or a call can make all the difference. For more information about supports for the elderly. Visit ALONE , FriendsOfTheElderly or  Making Connections independent.ie/life/health-we…
