Carole & Margaret
Written By The Link Visiting Scheme
Link Visiting Scheme volunteer Carole shares her experience of building connections with her Link friend and how volunteering has been so meaningful to her.
I have been visiting Margaret once a week for nearly two years now. When I first started visiting her, we would go for a walk around a nearby lake. This would take over an hour and, at nearly 90 years of age, I was so impressed at how sprightly Margaret was. Sadly, Margaret became quite poorly last year, and she became frailer, so our walks became shorter. But our chats didn't!
I look forward to my weekly visit having a chat and a giggle over a cuppa, and I know Margaret does, too.
It may be a small thing, but that hour or so really makes all the difference.
