Friendly visits
A volunteer visits the person regularly to chat, share a coffee and break isolation.
Mission — Solidarity
No one should grow old alone or on the street
We help older people who are homeless or facing housing and daily-living difficulties, with listening, regular presence and guidance to the right people.
Our approach
Behind the Mediterranean sunshine, the hardship of older people often stays invisible. Some elders live alone, without a visit for weeks; others end up homeless, or in unfit housing. Our volunteers go out to meet them, build connection, and never leave them to face difficulties alone.
Our role is not to replace social services (CCAS, home-care services, shelters) but to complement them with a human presence and to make access to existing schemes easier. We work hand in hand with local actors to direct each person to the right resource.
Our solidarity actions
Support for homeless elders
Hot meals, drinks, blankets, listening and guidance to shelters and care services.
Housing help
Support with housing, rehousing or home-improvement procedures.
Shared meals
Several times a month we host friendly meals to break loneliness.
Appointment companion
Help getting to the doctor, the pharmacy or an administrative appointment.
Listening & guidance
An attentive ear and guidance to the right people: social worker, CCAS, specialist associations.
