More information

 

Care Local has been providing services on a voluntary basis for over 35 years in the Dublin City Council area. Our priority is to identify frail and housebound older people who are experiencing social isolation, as these are one of the most invisible and neglected groups of vulnerable people in our community. Care Local volunteers visit an older person in their local area once a week in the older person's home. This forms the foundation of a relationship that builds and strengthens over time. As an advocate and friend, the volunteer can contribute dramatically to increasing the quality of life of an older person who is experiencing social isolation.
