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.

From September 2023 we will be hosting a monthly Gardening Group for people living with dementia and their care partners and family. The group will take place on the 4th Tuesday of each month between 10am and 1pm.

We are looking for green fingered enthusiasts who can bring their horticulturist expertise to support with all year round aspects of gardening. Three hours per month
