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 role is to support at our Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) groups. CST is an enjoyable evidence-based therapy that involves engaging in group activities to stimulate memory, attention, language and problem-solving, through fun and creative exercises. Please note that our sessions are run twice a week for a 7 week period in various locations throughout the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire region, so it would be ideal if you could travel throughout the region. There is a two week break between programmes.
