About The Role
Our Singing for the Brain sessions offer people affected by dementia a chance to enjoy a fun activity within a supportive environment. We need volunteers to help make this happen!
Singing for the Brain is a structured group session, based on principles of music therapy and singing, for people with dementia, who may attend alone or with a carer. These sessions provide an enjoyable activity and social opportunity for attendees.
As a Singing for the Brain Support Volunteer, you’ll welcome and talk to people with dementia, helping them feel at ease. During the session, you’ll encourage participation and support the session facilitator with activities, either online or in person.
You’ll be great for the role if:
* You are interested in developing meaningful relationships and making a difference.
* You want to help people with dementia find their voice through music.
* You are fun and enthusiastic.
* You can listen with compassion.
* If supporting virtual sessions, you should be confident using Zoom and navigating online.
* Experience of dementia is not necessary, nor is singing ability!
Additional responsibilities include setting up and clearing the room for sessions, which meet fortnightly on Fridays at The Fitzwilliams Centre, Windsor End, Beaconsfield HP9 2JW. Availability from 9:30am to 10:00am and 12:00pm to 12:30pm is required. The role involves physical tasks like moving chairs and tables and attending necessary training.
Minimum age: 16
