Dementia Group Volunteer — Social & Activity Buddy

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.

This friendly group meets on a Thursday from 1.30 to 3pm at Mitchel Troy Village Hall, Mitchel Troy, , Monmouthshire NP25 4HZ
. Volunteer hours extend around these times. This role is about supporting people affected by dementia to get the most out of the event so an interest in singing is desirable but not essential. Mitchel Troy is located South of Monmouth with minimal public transport so own transport is a necessity.

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.
