About The Role
If you’re passionate about supporting carers of people living with dementia, then we have just the volunteer role for you!
Our Carers’ Information and Support Programmes (commonly referred to as CrISP) are a series of workshops for people caring for a family member or friend with dementia. CrISP aims to improve the knowledge, skills and understanding of people caring for a person with dementia, by providing effective support and up-to-date and relevant information.
A friendly face at the group, you’ll help carers feel at ease by chatting and listening to them and providing refreshments. You’ll encourage carers to share their experiences and provide information that will help them care for a person with dementia. You can also get involved by supporting at events to spread the word about the CrISP programme.
The volunteering role will require you to support the delivery of CrISP training, which will take place in the evenings from 6:00pm to 9:30pm. There will be a mix of online sessions delivered via zoom, and face to face sessions which will be located within the Borough of Lewisham. Training sessions will be delivered at least once a week, possibly twice.
