Community Companion - Aberdeen

• Marie Curie

• VO99540

Offer your time. Share a pot of tea/coffee. Be there when it matters most.

You don’t need a medical background or all the answers – just a kind heart, a listening ear, and a little time to give.

Marie Curie is looking for compassionate, everyday people to join our Companion Team in Adberdeen

What does a Companion Volunteer do?
It’s simple, really – you’ll be there for someone.
You might visit someone and share stories, connect through hobbies/interests, chat about life, update them regarding local or wider activities. Sometimes just a conversation with a cuppa in hand provides a steady presence.

What you’ll be part of:
• Offering emotional comfort and conversation
• Help someone express what matters most to them
• Share helpful information
• Point them to local resources and services
• Support family members or carers, before and after bereavement.

You’ll receive full training and ongoing support from the Marie Curie Team, and you’ll be joining a team who care just as much as you do
