**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 the room 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.
- Lots of fun and great brain and body exercises
You will support a staff member with delivering our popular 'Love to Move' dementia-tailored seated exercise group every Wednesday afternoon from 3:15 - 4:45pm. Around 10-14 people with dementia and carers join us every week at the Merton Dementia Hub (CR4 4AB).
Familiarity with Zoom is essential as the session is livestreamed over Zoom and the volunteer will facilitate this virtual participation as well as help settle clients in to the face-to-face group.
**You’ll be great for the role if**:
- You have good verbal communication and listening skills
- You enjoy meeting new people and being part of a team
- You are aware of or are willing to learn about dementia and its impact on people
- You can demonstrate empathy and compassion
- You are over the age of 16
