A simple conversation can make a world of difference, especially for older members of our community who may be feeling lonely or isolated.

👵👴 STAR Friends is a free Australian Government funded program that connects volunteers with older people in their local area, matching them based on shared interests and hobbies to build genuine, meaningful friendships.

✨ As a volunteer, you might:
☕ Share a cuppa and a chat
🎨 Enjoy arts and crafts
🎶 Listen to music together
🚶 Go for a walk
🍳 Cook a favourite meal
🌿 Spend time gardening
🌏 Or head out for a local outing

If you have a little time to give and would love to make a real difference while forming new friendships, we’d love to hear from you!

Take the first step toward a new friendship today 🌟
