Embrace the Joy of Volunteering
Join Dossy’s Movement to Combat Isolation and Loneliness
A Dossy User, explaining what it's like at 99 to live alone.
Today, as we celebrate National Volunteer Week, we honour the incredible efforts of volunteers who dedicate their time and hearts to making a difference. At Dossy, our mission to combat isolation and loneliness among older Australians is powered by a community of compassionate volunteers. We invite you to join this pioneering movement and experience the profound impact of bridging generations through digital connection.
Stories of Connection and Joy
Volunteering with Dossy is more than just answering calls; it’s about creating moments of joy and companionship. Hear from our volunteers and users who have felt the magic of these connections:
“I just imagine it, I'm having a cup of tea with them or I've met them at a cafe. In my mind, I find it just as good as having a face-to-face. It's good. It's like a virtual cafe.”
Danielle, Aged 60, Dossy Volunteer
“They laugh, and they show me about their house. They walk around, and then they show me their wee dog sitting in their lap. It makes me feel good. I feel as if they're with me, they're right there. It's as if they're beside me. And it's a great feeling.”
Tracy, Aged 88, Dossy User
“I often feel grounded after I speak to these people because one, they've had a longer life, they've experienced more, and two, they grew up in a different era to us. Often I get off the call and I'm like, my problems, they're just not real issues.”
Neil, Aged 28, Dossy Volunteer
