The Experience

Spend time with a wonderful Polish lady and experience life in beautiful County Durham We’re looking for a kind, patient and friendly Polish-speaking volunteer to spend time with my 86-year-old mum, who lives with us in a peaceful home just outside Durham. Following a stroke a few years ago, she enjoys gentle company, conversation and short walks, but sometimes misses speaking her native language. Your presence would make a real difference.
