**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.
- Tuesdays and Thursdays 1.30pm to 4.15pm weekly at the following venue:
Poulton Methodist Church
Queensway, Poulton-le-Fylde FY6 7ST

Volunteers required at both sessions volunteers can do both or either session.

- You have good verbal communication skills
- You are over the age of 16
