Volunteer Activities Assistant
Peaceful Place is a Day Centre for people of working age and older living with dementia.
Our aim is to help our members live their best lives by offering a welcoming space with a variety of engaging activities, social opportunities, and support throughout the day.
We're looking for volunteers with a kind, caring, and patient nature, and genuine empathy for our members. Excellent observational skills are essential, along with a proactive approach to helping members take part in activities and feel engaged.
Below are just some of the activities we offer to our members:
* Arts & crafts - this can include painting, drawing or making models plus much more
* Music therapy - our members take part in musical sessions with instruments
* Choir - our members take part in singing for a thoroughly enjoyable session
* Yoga - our members take part in a chair yoga session
* Gardening - our members take care of the various plants they are growing and take part in making items for the garden and our allotment in Pitsea
* General socialising - we have a lovely garden and day room where our members like to spend time and often just chat and relax
You'll be joining a friendly and welcoming team, and we'll support you every step of the way in your volunteering journey.
If you can spare just a few hours a week to help, we would love to hear from you.
