About the volunteering opportunity

Health issues and loss of mobility make small chores and getting out of the house difficult and often lead to isolation. In the KiezZeit project, we connect people looking for social interaction and support with volunteers from the neighbourhood. 

Your Tasks

As a volunteer, you will visit a neighbour looking for support once a week. How you spend your time together is up to you and the person you visit. From coffee and a chat to short walks or doing grocery shopping.
