Meet the staff: Simon Ferris

Life is
better lived 
Everyone deserves great company – let us match you with a senior so you can make a real difference in your community.
A small amount of your time as a volunteer can make a huge difference to the life of a senior. A helping hand, a listening ear, and a friendly smile can all make a senior feel more socially connected, and inspire them to rekindle life skills and hobbies they once enjoyed. Your company can provide support in remaining independent and connected to community, not to mention sharing many smiles along the way.
Our volunteer program has many opportunities, including in the community, residential villages, in our corporate business, or as a part of our Virtual Social Centre, which helps connect our seniors to their community from the comfort of their own home.
In Great Company is a uniquely flexible volunteer program, which takes your skills and goals and matches them to a real friend!
