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.
We are looking for volunteers to support the delivery of the course which is 2 hour workshop being delivered every week over 6 weeks. The programme is to be delivered in community venues across the city of Sheffield. The volunteer will support the programme facilitator to set up the room, welcoming carers, giving out handouts and supporting any carers who may become distressed and need to take a moment outside the group. At the end of the workshop the volunteer will support with clearing the room. The locations at which we are holding this course are : Sheffield Grand Mosque - Firth Park, Masjid Quba Education Centre in Darnall Masjid Al-Huda Mosque - S3 7WT Dates and times of these will be released in the next few weeks Stephen Hill Methodist Church

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.
