Are you on your own, or do you have a relative who is feeling lonely? Would you simply like to have a chat with someone or spend some time together – on a reliable and regular basis? If so, please get in touch with us and we’ll match you with a WirKT senior mentor as soon as possible.
We offer:
- Qualified volunteers
- People with sufficient time available locally
- Reliable, long-term support
The project is aimed at all older people in Kitzingen – whether they still live independently or are in care homes or retirement homes in Kitzingen.
How does the placement process work?
Please send us your formal enquiry in writing, including all relevant information – age, living arrangements, address, telephone number and a brief description of the person.
- We are looking for a suitable WirKT senior mentor for you or your relatives
- If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the WirKT Volunteer Centre: Monday–Friday, 9.00 am–1.00 pm.
- Please note: Our WirKT senior mentors work entirely on a voluntary basis, and their involvement always depends on their availability!
Would you like to become a senior mentor?
We are looking for people who can regularly spare some time, have patience and a big heart. The level of commitment always depends on your personal circumstances and availability!
Possible activities could include, for example: offering to chat, visiting care homes and retirement homes in Kitzingen, providing support at events or when shopping, a short stroll around town, playing games together, or simply ‘being there’.
As a volunteer, you will receive professional training leading to a certificate, as well as further opportunities to deepen your knowledge of working with older people throughout your time with us. We offer regular opportunities for discussion, telephone advice for urgent queries, and an evaluation of your placements.
This project is sure to lead to some wonderful encounters and friendships, which will be a real benefit to everyone involved!
Join in – we look forward to seeing you!
