Your help is welcome

Volunteering enjoys a high status in all our residences and we look forward to hearing from people interested in volunteering. It is best to get in touch with the residence that is easiest for you to get to. This will minimise commuting and leave you more time to devote to our residents.

Our residences always welcome volunteers, and in some cases actively seek volunteers for specific assignments. If you have any ideas, suggestions or proposals, please contact us and we can decide together how they may be put into practice.

We are looking for volunteers

• who enjoy sewing, to regularly repair minor defects in the clothing of our residents (e.g. sewing on buttons) and thus bring them great joy.
• for one-to-one assistance: people who would like to visit a resident once a week or more often for an hour. Our residents look forward to conversations during a walk through the beautiful garden or over a coffee in the cosy cafeteria.
• who speak Spanish very well, for a resident who would like to talk in Spanish.
• who speak Greek very well, for a resident who, due to dementia-related changes, only speaks his native language.
• who are interested in film and culture, for a resident who used to be a film director.
• as flexible helpers to accompany residents to shopping or doctor's appointments.
