About The Role
If you love meeting new people and want to support people affected by dementia in your area, then we may have just the volunteer role for you!
As a Group Support Volunteer, you’ll support and encourage people affected by dementia to engage in activities and socialise with others in a group setting. A friendly face at the group, you’ll welcome and talk to people affected by dementia to help them feel comfortable and make sure they’re offered refreshments. You’ll also help set up and tidy away at the end of the group.
Your involvement in this role will ensure people affected by dementia are able to meet others in a similar situation, access the support and information they need and enjoy meaningful activities.
We need a volunteer to chat, help with refreshments and join in with the Art/ Music/craft/games/puzzles/Exercise with our lovely members. If you have experience in Art, Exercise this would be beneficial to the group.
Training will be provided, and we have a rota for all volunteers you can choose when you can volunteer. There is a commitment of six months.
We have a fortnightly activity group on Wednesday afternoons 1.30 - 4.00 pm.
You will need to arrive at 12.50 help set up and tidy away at the end of the group.
The location is Harry Rice Hall, 72-74 Hargrave Park Road, N19 5JN.
