Our Story

The Victorian Hands Foundation, launched by Nadia Campbell, in 1994 strives to make the elderly feel loved and appreciated, as well as to make sure that they have not been abandoned by the communities that they served for so many years.

Our founder started this organization after watching a a documentary on elders who were abused and neglected and felt that something needed to be done! Through youth and adult volunteers, TVHF enhances intergenerational relations. Volunteers of TVHF learn how to appreciate and interact with
elders as well as help elders appreciate and learn about the younger generations.
