Music Mate (North Shore)

We are looking for a friendly and reliable volunteer to spend time with a sociable, energetic young person in his 20s, based in Northcote on the North Shore.

We are ideally seeking someone local to the Northcote/North Shore area to make regular meetups easy and sustainable.
