Caring Callers
Hato Hone St John Caring Caller is a friendship-based service for people who are alone or feel isolated in our communities. Our programme matches those who need a friend with volunteers who understand the need for care and companionship, and who want to make a difference to someone's life. Many of our callers look forward to their chats as much as our clients do - a friendly kōrero can make your day!

Hospital Services & Community Carers
In the busy emergency department of a hospital, a friendly, calm face can be comforting. Friends of the Emergency Department (FEDs) volunteers listen, provide information, and support patients and their whānau. Our volunteers also welcome people in hospital foyers, offering directions and assistance. For long-term patients, our volunteers provide companionship through chats, reading, and games, making their stay more enjoyable. Additionally, our community carers visit rest homes, offering support through friendly conversations, reading, grocery assistance, and gentle walks.
