About the role

An Afternoon of Chess, Conversation and Classic Films 

In Eleebana, a gentleman with a rich cultural background enjoys the simple pleasures of good company and meaningful conversation. Originally from Italy, he speaks Italian, Croatian and Polish, and has many stories and experiences to share.

His ideal afternoons are spent enjoying a friendly game of chess, reminiscing about times gone by, or settling in to watch a classic movie. A shared laugh, a thoughtful conversation, or the quiet camaraderie of a chess match can make all the difference.

This is an opportunity to spend time with someone who values connection, friendship and companionship. Whether you're a keen chess player, a fan of old films, or simply enjoy meeting people from different cultures, your presence could brighten his day while creating a rewarding experience for both of you.


  • 1-hour visits
  • Weekly or fortnightly commitment
  • Between 9:00am and 5:00pm
  • Available any day of the week
  • At the clients home in Eleebana




Your impact

Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated.
