The Heart Foundation wants to support more people to walk more often, as it’s one of the simplest yet best things we can do for a healthy mind, body and heart. The program has nearly 100 groups in SA, and people can be part of a group by joining an existing group in their local area or by starting their own group.     

Walking groups can be any size and walk at various times, days, lengths, and levels of difficulty. Everyone is encouraged to walk at their own pace.

Heart Foundation Walking is Australia’s largest walking group network, with over 750 groups nationwide, including more that 350 specialty groups—such as parents with prams, support groups, indoor walking groups, people with health conditions (e.g. cardiac rehab, cancer), workplace teams, cultural and community groups, men’s and women’s walking groups.

Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme

• Do you enjoy a chat?
• Or are you keen to meet someone new and interesting in your community?
• Ever considered becoming a Volunteer Visitor?

We have opportunities for chatty and empathetic Volunteer Visitors, who are good listeners, and enjoy being with older people.

By volunteering as a Volunteer Visitor, you will provide friendship and conversation to socially isolated elderly individuals living either at home or in residential care.

If you have 1 hour per fortnight to connect, share and celebrate life experiences then consider volunteering as a Volunteer Visitor. We have multiple opportunities for people to join our team in the Adelaide Hills and Mount Barker regions.

The Aged Care Volunteer Visitors Scheme is an Australian Government funded program established to promote links between people living in an aged care home or in their own homes and the wider community.

To find out more about this volunteer role please contact Volunteer Coordinator Caitlin on 0428 031 253 or email coconnor@lutherancare.org.au, or go to the Lutheran Care website https://www.lutherancare.org.au/ and apply to volunteer.
