The VMEH81 association is divided into 7 branches (Albi, Gaillac, Lavaur, Saint Sulpice, Castres, Mazamet, Valence d'Albi). We visit nursing homes, care facilities and hospitals in order to bring human warmth and good cheer to the residents and patients of these establishments. Each volunteer brings what they know how to do: friendly conversation, reading, music, knitting, activities, companionship... all in cooperation with the care team. Volunteers generally dedicate half a day per week to this work.
