Lincoln, United Kingdom Alzheimer's Society Full time

**About The Role**:
Our Singing for the Brain sessions offer people affected by dementia a chance to enjoy a fun activity within a supportive environment, but we need you to help make this happen

Singing for the Brain is a structured group session, designed around the principles of music therapy and singing, for people with dementia, who may attend alone or with a carer. These uplifting sessions offer the people attending an enjoyable activity, as well the chance to socialise with other people affected by dementia.

As a Singing for the Brain Support Volunteer, you’ll be welcoming and talking to people with dementia, helping them to feel at ease. Once the singing session starts, you’ll provide encouragement to participate in the activity, and support the group leader by handing out songbooks. You’ll ensure people attending are offered refreshments, as well as helping to set up the room and tidy away at the end of the session.
- This group takes place at Bud Robinson Community Centre, Maple Street, on the 1st Friday of each month from 11am - 12. 30 pm, with an option to support the Dementia Cafe which takes place immediately prior to the session from 9.30 am to 11 am

**You’ll be great for the role if**:

- You have experience of or an interest in music or movement
- You have knowledge of, or a willingness to learn about, dementia and its impact on people
- You have good verbal communication skills
- You are over the age of 16
