About this role

Tea, Stories and Nearly a Century of Memories


In Pagewood, a warm and welcoming woman is approaching an incredible milestone, her 100th birthday. Originally from Iran, she has lived a rich and fascinating life and enjoys sharing memories, stories, and conversations with those around her.


Fluent in Farsi, Azari, and English, she has a natural gift for connecting with people and loves learning about the lives and experiences of others. Over the years, she has developed many talents and interests, including cooking, sewing, knitting, and gardening, and she takes great pride in the skills and traditions she has carried through her life.


A visit with her might involve chatting over a cup of tea, reminiscing about family and treasured memories, discussing favourite recipes, or even preparing a simple meal together. Her friendly nature and love of conversation make time spent together both enjoyable and meaningful.


For someone who enjoys genuine connection and hearing the stories that come from a life well lived, this is a wonderful opportunity to build a special friendship across generations. 


Volunteer opportunity details:


  • Weekly or fortnightly visits

  • Visits of 30 minutes to 1 hour

  • Available any day of the week

  • Visits between 9:00am and 5:00pm

  • Minimum 6-month commitment


Sometimes the most meaningful conversations come from those who have a century of stories to share.
