Volunteer work

The Council of senior citizens in the Northern Islands, in collaboration with the NBH, has taken steps to organize a service where volunteers go out and visit senior citizens living at home and those living in residential institutions.

Some examples of volunteer service include:

  • Walks (also with a wheelchair)
  • Knitting
  • Readings
  • Singing
  • Devotions
  • Playing games e.g. bingo, yatzy, etc.
  • Socializing
  • Reminiscing about the old days
  • Accompanying to a café etc.
  • Playing musical instruments

If you would like to become a visiting friend or need a visit from a visiting friend, you can contact Mariu Olsen, former chairman of the Council of Elders in the Northern Islands, on tel. 282171.
