Group Support Volunteer
Found in: Talent UK C2 - 1 week ago
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.
We run five groups a month across Doncaster for people living with dementia and their carers. Groups run from 1:00-3:00pm. We have groups at Cantley Community centre (1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month), Tickhill Methodist Chapel (3rd Tuesday of the month), Danum Galleries (3rd Monday of the month) and The Ivanhoe Centre Conisbrough (4th Wednesday of the month).
Volunteers can attend as many groups as they would like and there is no requirement to attend all groups. Volunteers should also be willing to attend team meetings twice a year in Doncaster for which expenses will be paid.
