Orange Hospital Wayfinder, Gary Scovell, said "We provide a meet, greet and chaperone service to all visitors and staff at the hospital at the same time practising social distancing and disinfecting procedures.
"The services will be provided 7 days per week.
"2021 will be our 10th year of volunteering.
"The pandemic has resulted in the Wayfinders losing quite a few of their members for various reasons. We are encouraging community members to come and join our Wayfinding community.
"All ages are welcome and a current flu vaccination is mandatory."
