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.
This volunteering role will take you to different venues across North Somerset and Bristol, and is a mix of indoor and outdoor activities, such as walking, museums, and indoor bowling. We try to ensure we have a good variety of activities so there is something for everyone. Walks are no longer than three miles and we like to stop at a cafe and have a coffee or lunch after every day out. Volunteers need to be available from 10:45am to 2:00pm every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month.
