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.

Our Programs

  • Sensitivity Training: We prepare our volunteers & individuals on how to properly interact with the older population, by familiarizing them with current issues, “terms to know” and role playing.

  • One-to-One Visits: TVHF volunteers visit and spend one hour or more with residents of nursing homes.

  • Recognition of Caregivers: Annually and through out the year TVHF seeks to highlight and recognize amazing caregivers.

  • Community Events: TVHF participates in elder related events like the Arthritis Foundations Arthritis Walk, the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk and the Heart Association’s Heart Walk.

The Victorian Hands Foundation would like to thank our beneficiaries for their support over
the years.
