We are always pleased to welcome volunteers with an interest in supporting people with dementia and their carers. No special experience is required. We are looking for compassionate people with a positive attitude. We will help and support you to achieve your volunteering goals – whether you want to gain valuable work experience or make new friends and help in your community.

 

Our volunteers are vital members of our support community, and help deliver weekly social groups, or wellbeing activity days in all of our hub locations.

 

Typical volunteering activities include:

​

Weekly social group helper:

• Setting up activity sessions

• Helping make hot drinks and serve refreshments

• Chatting with people with dementia and their carers

• Playing board games and other activities

• Helping tidy up and clearing away

 

Wellbeing activity day helper:

• Setting up and clearing away

• Helping with refreshments and meal preparation

• Supporting the delivery of planned activities – board games, jig saws, gentle sports, music, arts, crafts etc

• Working in a team to ensure our members are supported socially and emotionally throughout the session

 

We are also always keen to hear from people who want to support us in other ways. For example, helping to fundraise or source raffle prizes.
